Debian is also about building a superior Linux distribution and
providing great tools to our users. Some tools are in non-free for what
are (in my mind, at least), relatively minor violations of the DFSG.
For example, does distribution of a program that forbids commercial
distribution *really* hurt the free software community? Yes, it would be
better if that restriction were removed, but it's a lot different than
forbidding modification, or shareware.
