Ok, but there's one thing that I don't understand. If a soft is gpl that uses a non-free soft, doesn't go to contrib? My question is about a plugin that has in the source the non-free lib but itself is gpl, documented all in the License file. and all is a package, has to go to non-free? Or the maintainer has to separate in two packages, the non-free and the contrib part? Regards, Leo -- -- Linux User 152692 PGP: 0xF944807E Catalonia
