I was just browsing the repo's looking for a iPod manager and gtkpod came up as pretty popular so I decided to install but Ubuntu pop up asking me if I wanted to enable restricted packages? Yet the website says its "free software"? help? :S

It is free but a component of it (gtkpod-aac) is non-free (in Multiverse) as I guess it implements something that may or may not infringe on Apple patents or something similar.

(Free in this post is free as in freedom, both packages are free as in beer)
