</I>><i> Why do you think that would be a better solution than putting it into
</I>><i> tainted (where it belongs for dependencies) and marking tainted as being
</I>><i> for ALL tainted packages (regardless if free or nonfree)?
</I>
Because some people do not care about patents and using tainted stuff,
but do care about free licenses and do care about what it bring to them.
I do. Stormi do ( or seems to do ). And I think that given we decided to
split PLF for that precise reason, there is more than 2 of us to care.
><i> Putting tainted packages in nonfree just causes more confusion IMHO.
</I>
As much as the reverse, it all depends on what you tell to people about
the repository, what they expect and what you prefer to highlight.
Putting tainted separated from non-free is a way to remind to people
that patents and various similar issues do still exists, that there is
problem regarding free software unrelated to license, and that's a
separate concern from being non-free.
Putting non-free rpms in tainted will blur the line between the 2.
The only use I would see about separating non-free and tainted is for
mirrors maintainers, but we cannot guarantee much regarding non-free, as
we had various weird stuff in PLF that would prevent some mirrors from
having it.

</I>><i> Which would mean other packages like gstreamer will have reduced
</I>><i> capability.
</I>
You should read some documents about gstreamer architecture.
Nothing prevent to have a single plugin in non-free linked to anything
there, and loaded by gstreamer later. Yes, this may be more work but I
assume that people who have time to post on mls have time to get things
done.
