I disagree with Jérôme Marant, with evidence supporting that disagreement
below:

http://www.debian.org/social_contract

1.   We will support our users who develop and run non-free software on
Debian, but we will never make the system depend on an item of non-free
software

Adrian could have made it clearer he was quoting the social contract as
opposed to stating his personal opinion.
