+I guess we should separate concerns?
+ - non_free as in &quot;not (really) free software&quot; (source code may be
+available, but license, redistribution conditions, etc.)
+ - problematic stuff as in &quot;binary closed thing&quot; (most firmware, but
+not only eventually)
+ - problematic stuff as in &quot;(likely) patented&quot; (some codecs)
+
+so that we don't mix issues when one has to decide what to mirror/use or not.
