Removal of BRIEF from main repository

Hi,

does anyone know why the BRIEF feature descriptor has been moved to the contrib repository? Is it nonfree? BRIEF is well-matured and used in tons of OpenCV examples both in the official documentation and the internet. Plus, the combination FAST+BRIEF is like a "Hello World" for feature detection IMHO :-).

EDIT: Additionally, the integration of the contrib repository seems still a little buggy - e.g. using xfeatures2d together with the world module fails in the CMake generation.
