I am remembering that several people around here have recently told me that
non-free is not part of Debian.
When someone asked what they meant by this, they clarified that
non-free is not part of Debian.
I guess that was what they meant. :-)
Redistributing non-free is definitely a tricky proposition, since things
are there for all sorts of peculiar reasons. I doubt that anyone on
debian-legal would be comfortable saying "You have a right to distribute
the contents of non-free" -- it would probably be more like "We hope
that the people already distributing non-free have a right to distribute
non-free".
