[Mageia-dev] Repository question: where do we put non-free+tainted RPMs?

Personally I also think 'tainted' would be the better choice than
'non-free' since potential patent issues are a more serious concern than a
non-FOSS license, but tbh I think both choices are far from ideal, I
believe the only really clean solution would be to create a
'tainted+non-free' repo just like PLF has.

The PLF 'non-free' repo contains quite a few packages [1], I would think we
will want to add most of them to Mageia too, so this will continue to be a
problem.
