And I believe that is the situation in several european countries, and other countries around the world. Even FSF and Stallman says this. If the software is not patented in &quot;your&quot; country, it is Free software in &quot;your&quot; country.

+Yes, that's correct. But we should look at the reason why we decided
+to have this &quot;tainted&quot; repositiry in the first place (was decided
+after a lengthy discussion right at the beginning). We have it because
+Mageia is not only for those countries who do not recognize software
+patents, it is for the whole world.
+
+The &quot;tainted&quot; repository was implemented to make it easy for those who
+do live in countries like USA and others to be able to avoid this
+software which may be illegal in their country. The alternative would
+be for them to have to search the whole &quot;core&quot; repository for such
+software to be able to avoid it. Same goes for mirrors - we
+implemented the &quot;tainted&quot; repo to make it easy for mirror maintainers
+to offer this software on their servers or not. We give them the
+opportunity of easy distinction, what they actually do is up to them.
+
+If all Mageia users were living in France or the same kind of
+jurisdiction we would not need the tainted repo at all.
+
+So, the reason we have tainted is not caused by any official
+definitions but it is a service for users and mirror maintainers who
+are not as lucky as you and me.
