Hi all,

Apologies for my lack of knowledge. Does Sugar contain any non-free components?

In principle that depends on your definition of "free".

However, to the best of my knowledge, all parts of "Sucrose" - the official core part of Sugar, is free according to the Debian Fre Software Guidelines (DFSG) which I believe fit the "free" as defined by FSF.

Parts of Sugar (the squeak-vm package needed by Etoys) is treated as "non-free" in Debian but that is not due to licensing issues but rather the oddity of "source code" being binary so currently unmaintainable by the Debian security team.


So the short answr is "yes!" :-)
