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

I was looking at Mandriva non-free SRPM directory since Mageia doesn't have
much in non-free yet.
I haven't actually counted if the majority has source or not, so you might
be right, but we are digressing here because like I said in the first post
the question here in this thread is about a package that has code with a
non-free license but is open source (and is 'tainted').

To quote my initial mail:
"... what the appropriate repository for a package is that's both non-free
(open source but not a FOSS license) and tainted (contains sw. that is
covered by patents in some parts of the world)."

To complicate matters further this package will have dependencies to some
other 'tainted' packages, which also a reason why 'tainted' seems more
appropiate for this specifica package at least.
