I would say free, since all the pipelight plugin code itself is free. The
download silverlight of course is non-free, but that is not included in the
packages.
Then why it's not in fedora if it's free ?
The main reason why a package denied in fedora would be allowed in our free
section is because of patented but free software.
Other reasons involve 3rd part modules with where the freedom in term of
license and binary remains preserved.
This is not the case here because the only reason why this software is useful
is because of windows plugins (here we are still good, wine is in fedora).
Incidentally thoses plugins are proprietary (still ok, wine can run proprietary
apps). But this software seems to even download proprietary plugins by default!
that's not good at all for our free section!
I would say that I've discarded winetricks from free because of that reason.
Now I would have the reason why downloading plugin "feature" was not spitted
into another package so this one could be kept into fedora ?
