Just follow the FSF (four freedoms) and DFSG. It would be nice to have
packages with patent/legal problems (like LAME?) in a separate
repository. It _is_ free software. I'd say remove all restricted and
multiverse, but if it's actually free software (no non-free
dependancies), put these in a special repository.
