I think you are just trolling and trying to make me restate past

Sure, but please tell me, if we are going to move non-free stuff to
non-free.org, exactly how will that change anything over the current
situation in regard with packages with problematic licences ?
It will change nothing about those packages, but having them in the
debian ftp archive has no positive effect on them either.
It will probably improve user understanding of what is part of the
Debian distribution and what is not. How much it will improve is
apparently unknown, but no-one seriously suggests it will worsen.
As you know, I think the best likely package benefit comes for those
with unproblematic licences not hosted by Debian, but I see that you
are careful to exclude that from your question.
