        I would suggest that ethically speaking (and we do seem to be
 speaking of ethics and religion), if the package talks all about
 non-free packages in the description and all over the docs, your poor
 users are going to be made way more aware of the bad, nast6y non-free
 software that is not supposed to exist.

        Jeeze.
