The jargon in debian-legal traditionally distringuishes between
a) "not distributable": Debian would be infringing copyright (or some
other legal principle) if we put it anywhere on our ftp servers.
and
b) "not free": We may be legally able to distribute it, but we
unilaterally _choose_ not to do so (... in main).
The above sentence from Jacobo Tarrio seems to use "not distributable"
in sense (b). Since this is not in fact -legal, I assume that we all
actually agree and that JT is simply unfamiliar with the relevant
jargon.
