We're in the process for getting rid of non-free [1]. In the next days we'll
decide [2] wether a simple or a 3:1 majority is required to modify the Social
Contract.

As for contrib I don't have a problem with it, it's all free software and
eventualy it can be fixed to be in main. It just needs someone to fix the
dependencies.

[1] This includes GNU manuals, under the GFDL. (sig)
