I think the reason it is currently in multiverse is that it is in contrib in Debian.
It is there because it requires vmware to work, so is an "accessory to a non-free program", which puts it in contrib in Debian. Does this same thing apply in Ubuntu? I can't see any reason to stop it moving to restricted aside from the above (license is LPGL, only depends on main/universe packages), so if we do not have the rule that only being useful with non-free software not in the archive requires the package to be in multiverse then we can move it.
