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:
Fixed since Debian release 2.4-3 in 2010.
Parabola build routines declares individual docx source files as additional sources in its rpms metadata.
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 true that smtube _can_ use tonvid.com, Debian distribution of smtube does not.

I dput'ed last night a fork of Debian kodi, stripped of the kodi-repository-kodi binary package.
for the record:

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.
Ignore: I misunderstood how this rolling release of PureOS should _not_ auto-remove what gets removed from Debian testing.

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.
@jonas.smedegaard I can not block binary packages, it's either all or nothing. You will need to edit the package in PureOS, removing the problematic pieces.
Only syncing a few binary packages leads to an inconsistent archive with big headaches for QA, and if we later rebuild all packages from scratch becomes completely impossible.
So, adding a PureOS delta is the way to go here.
This has been blacklisted for ages now :-)

@mak can you block (not src:kodi but) the binary package kodi-repository-kodi from entering PureOS?
Debian kodi package re-entered unstable today, which means it will re-enter likely re-enter PureOS 10 days from now.

Kodi was removed from Debian testing some time ago due to FTBFS with GCC7.

Dropped from Debian testing (and consequently from PureOS), and unlikely to reappear without addressing the bug.
Fixed in Debian.

(as a sidenote I also realize that a web browser can execute code from alien sources and similarly cannot be ensured to only process Freely licensed code - I have no idea by which logic FSF can approve operating systems containing web browsers...)
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.
Is it that the programs sent by the individual projects for the clients to calculate are often nonfree?

adding @theodotos.andreou so he knows about the need of service similar to debian.net subdomain. Coordinate that together.
