Non-free is not Debian, so that's exactly what will happen.

There is nothing blessed and nothing mission about Debian.

If hasciicam is free software then we may do such things as change the
description. If not, it's not free. If it's free, we don't have to
ask for permission to distribute it -- you gave the world that
permission when you made it free.

You have to play by the same rules as you ask others to play by.
