We don't look at the same repository then :
<A HREF="http://sophie.zarb.org/distrib/Mageia/cauldron/i586/media/nonfree-release">http://sophie.zarb.org/distrib/Mageia/cauldron/i586/media/nonfree-release</A>
There is at the moment 0 software with sources.
If you speak of Mandriva :
<A HREF="http://sophie.zarb.org/distrib/Mandriva/cooker/i586/media/non-free-release">http://sophie.zarb.org/distrib/Mandriva/cooker/i586/media/non-free-release</A>
To me, the vast majority are distributed without sources. Those that
have sources are free software ( freecol for example ), but requires
something from non-free.
