[Bug 397536] Re: open-vm-tools should be in universe (not multiverse)

[James Westby]

I think the reason it is currently in multiverse is that it is in
contrib in Debian.

It is there because it requires vmware to work, so is an "accessory to a non-free
program", which puts it in contrib in Debian.

Does this same thing apply in Ubuntu?

I can't see any reason to stop it moving to restricted aside from the above
(license is LPGL, only depends on main/universe packages), so if we do not
have the rule that only being useful with non-free software not in the archive
requires the package to be in multiverse then we can move it.

Thanks,

James
