Ok, apologizes accepted, but i still think that your argumentation is
wrong.
You are claiming that the act of distributing non-free can cause a
problem for someone, while i really don't see how someone having access
to a non-free package from debian that he can either not modify or not
distribute is worse in any way than not getting access to said package.
