Now, I ask the same question again but with a little difference: Since Policy defines which packages can go into 'main' and which can't, can somebody please point out which part of Policy these programs fail? I have read the requirements for packages that want to go into main. I don't see what's wrong with free packages that talk proprietary protocols for which is no free 'other end' available, as far as Policy is concerned.
