Oops, I replied earlier but forgot to hit reply-to-list..

A program doesn't have to be GPL to be in the main archive. For example
the Ubuntu documentation (ubuntu-docs) are licenced under the Creative
Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 license. Lots of other things are
under non-gpl licences, firefox and apache are two big examples, there
are tonnes more.
