I'm not a legal expert, but if a package has some kind of strict license (e.g. scientific data, like db of galaxies), we can use SUSE-NonFree, right? So why do you say it's not acceptable? Again, I'm far from a legal-ninja, so I might be completely wrong here.
If I understand the use of SUSE-NonFree correctly, this would still require upstream to grant SUSE a waiver from their restrictive licensing to redistribute (including for profit) the data/code without repercussions. A correspondence showing this explicit waiver should be added as a README.SUSE or such to the sources. See [1] for an example. Without such a waiver, the package may not be distributed via the OBS.
