Don't complain to me, but to the IETF. They decided to license the MIBs published before November 10, 2008 under a non-free license according to the Debian Social Contract.
So they aren't put into non-free by accident, the ARE non-free!

For details on the license please look at /usr/share/doc/snmp-mibs-downloader/copyright

Thanks,
