To boil it down:
Is the Freedom Foundation too strict? (Alternately, are we reading it
too strictly?) In other words, is our hard-line on only displaying
FOSS solutions ultimately accomplishing our Mission to advance FOSS? I
argue that it is not, because it artificially limits our audience to
the set of people who are *already* working on FOSS. I think that
relaxing our stance a /little/ could lead to a wider contributor base,
providing a greater benefit to the FOSS community than absolute purity.
I honestly don't know anyone involved in this discussion who has a
hard line about only displaying FOSS solutions. The line is about what
we ship. People are free to enable non-free repositories and have
those displayed in our tooling if they make that choice.
