I've found this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=610300 But it's not clear whether the current client is freely distributable or not because it seems to be released using a GPL license :-? Ah, okay, the real reason was commented here: *** http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=613788 * The package goes in non-free because the pictures are non-free (CC-SA- ND) even if the code is GPL. Otherwise it could have gone into contrib since it needs the proprietary dropbox binary to work. *** > (Sorry for sending private reply, that's Gmail's annoying default > behavior.)
