Note that some packages may contain non-free files (e.g. [a]), regardless of the license of the whole. There are also freedom issues that are unrelated to the license of the code, e.g. encouraging the use of non-free software [b]. I see that your packaging guidelines mention these issues, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. [a] http://libreplanet.org/wiki/NONFSDG#sharand [b] http://libreplanet.org/wiki/NONFSDG#XChat
