I would say that packages which autodownload non-free material should be 
in nonfree (like get-skype). For the same reason that free packages 
which Require a package in nonfree should be in nonfree.

As for World of Padman, if it works well in Mageia, is redistributable, 
and there is someone to maintain it, I see no reason not to import it.
