I'm asking again: where do you set the limit?
Let's imagine infinite scale with absolute freedom(liberty) on one side
and absolute non-freedom on another. The border between free and
non-free will be at 0.

I still wonder why people with the same ardour and consistency do not
speak about distribution of software in the non-free section? Why Debian
distributes non-free?
Because there are valuable non-free software. Such as the FSF manuals.
Do, you think that Debian will lost its value without non-free software?
If it's COOL, it's good enough for Debian? ;)
