Okay, and I think everyone here would agree those are not the same. So
I'm not sure why you'd highlight that.
Meanwhile, it's also true that the complaint is not merely “interacting
with proprietary services through the network”.
Instead, AIUI the complaint is packages which declare interaction with
non-free services *as their primary purpose*, to the point of
advertising that purpose in the package description.
