Spotify distributes a QT-based closed-source client via their Debian repository [1]. It is non-free, but VRMS fails to mark it as such.

[1] sources.list: deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free

Hi.

I just took a *very* brief look at their repository and, if I
understand it correctly, they put the packages in the non-free section
of their repository, but they don't mark the package's section (inside
the packages) as being non-free. Is that correct?


Regards,
