This thread has strayed far from the original question, which could be
re-stated as:

Should tainted free software and tainted nonfree software be commingled in a
single tainted repository?

How can tainted software be free software at the same time?


Because free is a matter of license, while tainted is a matter of patents.
For example, the libdvdcss2 is free, as the the source-code is open (GPL) but it touches the patent issue, so it's tainted.
