A program doesn't have to be GPL to be in the main archive. For example the Ubuntu documentation (ubuntu-docs) are licenced under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 license. Lots of other things are under non-gpl licences, firefox and apache are two big examples, there are tonnes more.
