(as I heard it...)

Enlightenment has a license that prevents it's migration to certain
operating systems, which is a restriction on derived works, which
makes it not "free software".  It could be packaged into non-free
however, as I understand it.

This would discourage people from doing the packaging, however, there
may still be someone doing it.
