Lindows - oh you mean Linspire, keep up ;)

Debian free has penggy which this program calls - but I'm not sure why
anyone would want it.

It would appear to be GPL'ed and copyright Linspire, although they don't

I see no reason it couldn't go in Debian free except perhaps AOL
copyright/trademark issues.
