Because i believe the time of confrontation has not yet come, and that
the moment to remove non-free from the debian infrastructure (see how
heavy this construction is over the simpler from debian, which you
choose to misunderstood). There is no alternative to non-free hardware
today, so there is not really much we can do about this. But all the
rest of the non-free software, by all means, get ride of it.
