Obviously the naming is not consistent among the wikipedia articles in different languages:

Intelsat 33e war ein kommerzieller Kommunikationssatellit des International Telecommunications Satellite Consortium (Intelsat) mit Sitz in Luxemburg.

Its named after the * International Telecommunications Satellite Consortium*

I was talking about Intelsat 33e which ~~is~~ was a communication satellite, not for espionage, on a geostationary orbit. The russian espionage satellites Olymp-K and Kosmos 1408 mentioned in the other replies, however are/were on a geosynchronous orbit and on low earth orbit, respectively, as you suggested.

Ja genau. 150 Tagessätze entsprech eigentlich genau 5 Netto-Monatsgehältern (Tagessatz = Monatsgehalt /30) abzüglich des Existenzminimums, s. Wikipedia.

You actually needed to be 'very good' at math to fluently calculate with Roman numbers. However, I can't make sense of your examples.

Yes, since Bookworm, there is also non-free-firmware which before was located in non-free. I've skipped that for simplicity, as both follow the same rules and non-free-firmware was introduced basically for convenience.

Do you know if either of the non-free repos contain binary files without having the source available?

I know it does, that's why I was curious about the novelty of that approach.
