Looking through the packages in contrib, the only thing that resembles a dependence on non-free hardware is the emulators, which need ROM images. Since the images can be considered software with a non-free license and many people find the phrase confusing, I have removed it. If there are no objections, I'll close the bug in a few days. -- James (Jay) Treacy [EMAIL PROTECTED]
