I initially believed the reason is purely technical: since it seems to be in ubuntu "multiverse" repository (implying non-free) it won't get included.

However, when looking at the copyright file of the frogatto package [1] I don't understand why it's in multiverse. Perhaps they chuck stuff from debian's contrib there?

Looks like frogatto-data has a crazy non-commercial and no-derivatives license conflicting the earlier license... [2] It's hard to understand what the heck they actually mean. Why can't people just use standard licenses?

So in the end I'm not sure at all how frogatto and frogatto-data are licensed. Lovely!
