+<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label nonfree</title>
+</head><body>
+<h3>What's the CTAN <code>nonfree</code> tree?</h3>
+<p>The CTAN archives are currently restructuring their holdings
+so that files that are 'not free' are held in a separate tree. The
+definition of what is 'free' (for this purpose) is influenced by, but
+not exactly the same as the
+
+
+<a href="http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines">Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG)</a>.
+<p>Material is placed on the <code>nonfree</code> tree if it is not
+freely-usable (e.g., if the material is shareware, commercial, or if
+its usage is not permitted in certain domains at all, or without
+payment). Users of the archive should check that they are entitled to
+use material they have retrieved from the <code>nonfree</code> tree.
+<p>The Catalogue (one of the prime sources for finding TeX-related
+material via
+<a href="FAQ-findfiles.html">web search</a>) lists the licence details in each
+entry in its lists.
+For details of the licence categories, see its
+
+<a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/licenses.html">list of licences</a>.
