Non-free? According to the DFSG, are not they free? I cannot see any
point of the DFSG that such a program, distributed both in source and
compiled form, with a free license, compilable only with non-free tools,
would infringe.

I thought they were only failing one policy condition to be in the free
area, but not the DFSG. As the policy section 2.2.2 says:
> Every package in contrib must comply with the DFSG.

So if such a non-recompilable, free-licensed binary fails the DFSG, it
should not even go to contrib, but to non-free!
