I disagree with closing this issue: Bumblebee is in Debian main because Debian covers free _licensing_ but not indirect promotion of non-free stuff.

jonas.smedegaard reassigned T62: simutrans - license considered "too vague" by FSF from jonas.smedegaard to mak.
Forked debian-junior and debian-games now released.
Indeed license is considered "too vague" by FSF.
Since Debian evidently tolerates it, our only option is to block it.

I guess what Parabola and Trisquel consider an issue is this comment:
jonas.smedegaard renamed T98: [FREEDOM ISSUE] python-reportlab - downloads adobe t1 fonts without license from [FREEDOM ISSUE] python-reportlab to [FREEDOM ISSUE] python-reportlab - downloads adobe t1 fonts without license.
jonas.smedegaard updated subscribers of T98: [FREEDOM ISSUE] python-reportlab - downloads adobe t1 fonts without license.
jonas.smedegaard closed T98: [FREEDOM ISSUE] python-reportlab - downloads adobe t1 fonts without license as Resolved.
Fixed since Debian release 2.4-3 in 2010.
jonas.smedegaard added a comment to T97: [FREEDOM ISSUE] openexr-doc - Includes embedded nonfree fonts in the documentation.
Parabola build routines declares individual docx source files as additional sources in its rpms metadata.
jonas.smedegaard renamed T97: [FREEDOM ISSUE] openexr-doc - Includes embedded nonfree fonts in the documentation from [FREEDOM ISSUE] openexr-doc to [FREEDOM ISSUE] openexr-doc - Includes embedded nonfree fonts in the documentation.
jonas.smedegaard placed T103: [FREEDOM ISSUE] kipi-plugins - Recommends nonfree email clients up for grabs.
jonas.smedegaard renamed T103: [FREEDOM ISSUE] kipi-plugins - Recommends nonfree email clients from [FREEDOM ISSUE] kipi-plugins to [FREEDOM ISSUE] kipi-plugins - Recommends nonfree email clients.
jonas.smedegaard closed T103: [FREEDOM ISSUE] kipi-plugins - Recommends nonfree email clients as Invalid.
This bug is bogus: Parabola patch do not avoid any promotion of non-free stuff, only refences to Free stuff by (arguably non-free trademark-protected) labels.

While we will for now remove Kodi (as it was in our default installation to showcase basically the power of Free software) because it is blocked from entering Debian testing - we will re-introduce this package with all fixes around services.

Ok. Thanks for the explanation.
jonas.smedegaard closed T212: kodi removed from Debian testing but continue to appear in PureOS green regardless as Invalid.
Ignore: I misunderstood how this rolling release of PureOS should _not_ auto-remove what gets removed from Debian testing.
jonas.smedegaard closed T212: kodi removed from Debian testing but continue to appear in PureOS green regardless, a subtask of T105: kodi - multiple issues, as Invalid.

I don't understand BOINC well enough to say how exactly the distributed code gets fed into the system, only (believe that I) understand that it does happen and that we cannot ensure that code fed into the system is freely licensed.
