Theoretically, one does not provode the software to do
_anything_. You may look at it. You may feel inspired to write a free
server. You may take pleasure in the number of packages you have
installed.
Do we have the right to deprive users of choices just because
we see no reason to do stuff? Sounds a trifle draconian.

Their choice. But they may not. *We* have no right to pull a
free package just cause we think it may be used in conjunction with a
non-free package.
