NAME

       Lintian::Processable::IsNonFree - Lintian interface to source package data collection

SYNOPSIS

           my ($name, $type, $dir) = ('foobar', 'source', '/path/to/lab-entry');
           my $collect = Lintian::Processable::IsNonFree->new($name);
           if ($collect->native) {
               print encode_utf8("Package is native\n");
           }

DESCRIPTION

       Lintian::Processable::IsNonFree provides an interface to package data for source packages.
       It implements data collection methods specific to source packages.

       This module is in its infancy.  Most of Lintian still reads all data from files in the
       laboratory whenever that data is needed and generates that data via collect scripts.  The
       goal is to eventually access all data about source packages via this module so that the
       module can cache data where appropriate and possibly retire collect scripts in favor of
       caching that data in memory.

INSTANCE METHODS

       is_non_free
           Returns a truth value if the package appears to be non-free (based on the section
           field; "non-free/*" and "restricted/*")
