1. Is it possible to package such a solib in the non-free section?
Is it actually redistributable?
Yes
2. opencpn would have a weak Suggests: or Recommends: on this package. Would
it mean it has to move to contrib?
Suggests, no. Recommends, yes. See policy 2.2.1.
3. If it is possible to package in non-free, how is this done? I don't find
much on this topic googling around
You set "Section: non-free/misc" in debian/control. See policy 2.4.
Since there is no source then you will also need to set an appropriate
value for the Architecture field.
Seems to boil down to that this is possible. Thanks!
