I'm suggesting groups who promote free software shouldn't be
distributing non-free software. It's not about allowing people to do
things, it's about what a project should and should not do if it wants
to be seen as credible.

Debian does great work, but they let themselves down. As I understand
it, the binary blobs issue is being worked one.
