Marco,

I don't have much time tonight to research this.  It does look
potentially worrying, though.

Please can you raise a new bug

http://bugs.gnewsense.org/

and add it to the Suspected non-free page.

http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Main/SuspectedNonFree

Thanks for questioning this package.

Cheers,

Chris.
