I wonder if this
  a) is allowed
  b) would make sense.

I just think that a program that is used to access a database on a
certain server does not necessarily depends from this non-free software.
Your box runs perfectly well without any non-free software.
The normal access is via any web-browser.  I don't think that web-browsers
have to go to contrib just because you are able to access nop-free sites
with it.

Kind regards
