What do you mean by " _essentially_ free" ? do you pay for any package 
in Universe or Multiverse?
As to me, I don't care if there are non GPL free software in those 
repositories. People are not obliged to use them, and people who think 
there useful can easily get them. So why the heck should they be removed 
from those repositories ?
