It doesn't say "3rd party CD manufacturers", so I assume it means all
groups creating CD images.

Including files for optional use does not imply that non-free
components are required, so it doesn't violate SC #1: We already
include non-free packages in the archive. Surely taking the archive and
putting it on a BluRay doesn't turn the free system available from the
archive into a non-free system that requires use of non-free
components.

Obviously packages in non-free don't need to comply with the DFSG, no
matter whether including in the archive or on BluRay images.
