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