Nobody forces you to install non-free packages when you're installing
erlang-cl. It's just unfortunate coincidence that amd-libopencl1 pulls
first among the packages which provide libopencl-1.1-1. Just install
ocl-icd-libopencl1 first, and after that erlang-cl will happily
install without any attempt to fetch non-free package. I believe that
our social contract is safe.

Cheers!
