This text was changed by me in response to feedback from Iain on IRC.
Previously it spoke of "GPL/LGPL" software, but I agree with Iain that the
decision shouldn't encode a specific license.

I believe the intent here is to ensure that this new archive is not used for
software that should go in the main Ubuntu archive.  It's already stated
by the Extension Repository Policy that software can't go in an extension
repo that already exists in the main Ubuntu archive; this just takes it one
step further to make it clear that the Ubuntu Kylin archive won't be used
for software that *could* be included in the main Ubuntu archive.

Maybe this is a better way to write that sentence?:

  Packages developed by the Ubuntu Kylin team that are freely
  redistributable will be delivered through the regular Ubuntu repository.

That covers both main and multiverse; and is mute on the question of
archive.canonical.com vs. the Kylin archive (since those are business
decisions and not something the TB should try to dictate).

Thanks,
