Please note that we don't accept software in Debian just because it is useful, but also because it is free. That said, I agree with some of the arguments given about the choice-of-venue clause. It is a bad clause, but I don't think it makes a piece of software non-free. There is no consensus about it on debian-legal. About Netbeans, I don't understand how it would be distributable if running over a GPL JVM, as the CDDL and the GPL are incompatible.
