AFAIK you need a proprietary compiler to build the drivers, but the code
itself is free. I'm not sure if this means contrib or non-free. For sure
it can not go into main, because packages in main have to be built using
only things in main.

I prefer to rename the source package (not the binaries). Do you have
any preference?
