It does not disqualify the package for non-free, but I would ask that you consider well how having this package in Debian will help Free Software before uploading it to non-free. Are there free alternatives that provide some of the features, which could be groomed to do what you need? Is the software already in wide use, or will including it in non-free increase its visibility -- leading more people to use non-free software? -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
