    non-free repository question

    Dear Team,

    How can I determine which packages are in the non-free repository?
    How can I remove them from the official distribution?

    So basically which tools falls outside the "Debian Free Software Guidelines" or "GNU GPL", as described here:

    http://docs.kali.org/kali-policy/kal...-source-policy

    Thank you!

    Thanks for the information "vrms"

    I have some questions regarding the non-free section
    1) Am I allowed to use the default distribution in my company?
    2) Am I allowed to give the default distribution (DVD/preinstalled PC/VM) to somebody else (for free of course)
    3) Some packages listed in non-free section are GPL (eg Nikto) - does anybody know why?

    thanks, Leroy


    Does anybody have a script to remove all non-free software?
    Or is it enough to just "apt-get purge ..." all the software listed above an reinstall them via debian repository?
