They contain software that does not meet the Debian Free Software
Guidelines, but are useful. Note this repository is not part of Debian,
but rather offerred as a service to Debian users. There is much debate
currently if it needs to be more removed and further distanced from Debian
the project.[0]

If only want Free Software on computer, delete them. If you don't care,
then you could leave them.
