Not necessarily. it rules out openmotif, although it seems to me that
it would fit perfectly in this repo.

I think the following rules could be acceptable (to be discussed and 
modified):

* reject anything illegal
* reject code if it doesn't come with source or cannot be changed,
  with an exception for firmware as in fedora extras.
* reject data if it is in an obfuscated form (like crypted, for 
  example).
* don't reject things that cannot be redistributed commercially.
* reject things that cannot be redistributed.
* don't reject data that cannot modified (including art or 
  scientific data).
* don't reject things that cannot be used with things that we reject
  (openmotif is in that category), reject if there are other condition
  on use.
* accept.
