limited and restrained don't sound right as they don't fully convey
the purpose/filtering-rule for packages in that repo....
The kernel uses the word "tainted" when it detects the nvidia
proprietary module for example, (which admittedly gave me a bit of
shock the first time I saw it :)).
><i>From all the proposed names, I think "tainted" is the best one, as the
</I>packages in there are in a "grey" zone, i.e. not totally illegal
everywhere, but illegal only in some places in the world. And in
reality the existence of a patent doesn't necessarily mean it's
enforceable in a court of law (the only way we'd know for sure is if
someone actually does try to sue)... my 0.02€ worth :)
