``nonfree``: Bad packages
`````````````````````````
The ``nonfree`` directory contains packages that are under a restrictive or
commercial license. You need to read the license agreements to these packages
before installing them. Binary drivers for devices like high-end graphics
devices and wireless network controllers can be found here, as well as some
limited commercial software where it is legal for us to provide them.
Where it is not legal for us to redistribute a non-free package, you will need
to build it yourself and install it on your system manually.
