How? Main is free software that doesn't require non-free code. Contrib is free software that does require non-free code. Note that the social contract does not use the word "depends". Code goes in contrib if it requires non-free code regardless of whether or not that is expressed as a dependency in the package management sense. All of the hardware under discussion requires non-free code. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED]
