Indeed. <A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=licensing_policy#acceptable_licenses">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=licensing_policy#acceptable_licenses</A>
says:
"The tainted section accepts software under a license that is might be
free or open source and which cannot be redistributed publicly in
certain areas in the world, or due to patents issues."
Reformulating it in an other, more explicit way maybe:
- "core" hosts 100% free software that can be redistributed anywhere
(or almost, the world is a bit more complicated than that)
- "nonfree" hosts non-free software that can be redistributed anywhere (same)
- "tainted" hosts all the rest, be it free software or not.
