Hi,

a shorter summary might be:

Don't accept non-free licenses by default -- prompt user instead.

I.e. you can still keep using non-free licenses. This is not about
banning non-free stuff. It is just a discussion about the
package.license mechanism which only prompts for EULA at the moment but
should also prompt for non-free licenses in future.

So if you are using a non-free license on purpose, adding it to your
package.license file is all you would have to do. Nothing else would change.
