I think we really need to decide on a sliding scale of non-freeness
and get some wording for each, For example:

* Free, legally redistributable, but just not in Fedora proper, e.g.
Chromium, various stuff in COPRs
* Non-free but legally redistributable, e.g. Chrome
* Bad combinations of licences, e.g. gstreamer-plugins-bad
* Freely licensed but somehow legally encumbered, e.g. MP3 codec
* Nonfree and legally encumbered, e.g. Skype

IANAL, so the examples and scale are of course up for discussion.
