+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; Because some people do not care about patents and using tainted stuff,
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; but do care about free licenses and do care about what it bring to
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; them.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; I do. Stormi do ( or seems to do ). And I think that given we decided
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; to
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; split PLF for that precise reason, there is more than 2 of us to care.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; Putting tainted packages in nonfree just causes more confusion
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; IMHO.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; As much as the reverse, it all depends on what you tell to people
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; about
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; the repository, what they expect and what you prefer to highlight.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; That's exactly why I suggested earlier in this thread that we need an
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; additional repo for 'tainted+non-free' packages, that's the only solution
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; that would satisfy every preference people might have and at the same
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; time make things clear for everyone (packagers, mirror maintainers,
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; users).
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Instead of moving stuff in non-free, you move them in non-free +
+</I>&gt;<i> tainted. That just bring more headaches, and more complexity.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> That's not a solution.
+</I>
+Well, that would be a real solution if we really wanted to flag those packages
+both as tainted and as non-free, as some people give more importance to the
+fact that it is tainted and others to the fact that it is non-free.
+
+For now, I would propose either to put that package in non-free, explain to
+users that non-free packages may be tainted too, and envision after Mageia 1
+to add a new media if the current solution really doesn't work, and maybe
+require a meta-package from tainted OR put it in tainted, explain that
+tainted can contain non-free packages, and require a dummy package from non-
+free, as Anssi proposed (on a second thought, I think that second option is
+better).
+
+Can we reach a decision ? (add this question to the next packagers meeting ?)
+
+However, as the whole discussion seems to revolve around only one practical
+package, what would be even better would be convince and help upstream to
+solve the licensing issue (if that's feasible).
+
