The GR is to drop non-free from the archive, not mandate that all Debian Developers stop working on non-free software outside their work for the Project. (Such a proposal would be problematic not just for John, but for those of us who work on non-free software as part of our jobs.) This suggests to me that John is willing to live by the rules he's proposing, which is laudable. -- G.
