That would suggest that it would also be worth having a separate section specifically for data to be downloaded to hardware,Well, there you enter in the discussion of additional classification of non-free, which has been rejected upto now as too much trouble.
It hasn't been rejected at all; there's just been no one willing to spend the time and effort on non-free to do that properly.
At least as a first pass, it'd be reasonable for someone to setup a list of fields (say, Non-Free-Category: gfdl-docs) and handle them as per the Task: fields. At least initially, I can't see why they'd need to be handled as stringently as DFSG-freeness or outright license violations...
To my mind we enter into that discussion as soon as we start talking about this proposal. Hrm. Thinking about it, a section like that would be more of a parallel to the proposed data distribution.
Uh, distributing data has a whole range of different problems to managing non-free better...
