And about most Linux distros too ;).

Many Linux distros provide non-free software, not by a separated, but by
the regular repositories/ports too, e.g. proprietary graphics drivers
and software with "broken" licenses too, e.g.

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ ls /var/abs/community/linuxsampler/
license.txt  PKGBUILD
