i couldn't find rtm, but tasque and tucan fail my proposed litmus test (does the application depend solely on non-free information to function properly) because the data itself is licensed at the users discretion. hence, these applications are permitted in main. see hannah-foo2zjs, which was split from foo2zjs and put in contrib because it is a script who's sole purpose is to fetch non-free printer firmwares; or ttf-mathmatica whose sole purpose is to fetch non-free fonts. mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
