This is the crux of the issue. People (read Debian developers) still
expect packages in non-free to have free licences. They don't. That's
why they're in non-free.
Indemnification is a standard corporate practice and necessary for the
officers of such corporations to complete their fiduciary duty to the
owners of said corporations. Expecting *any* software produced by a
corporation not to include indemnification is simply naive.
