Maximising utility over a set will yield a result at least equal to the
utility from maximising over a constrained subset of the full set. In other
words, we cannot be worse off by allowing non-free in.
Everybody not wearing your politically tainted glasses clearly sees the
higher utility from being able to use non-free, if so desired. If our users
don't want it, they don't use it. That ease. It's about choice, not
totalitarian prescription.
If you want a "politically correct" subset of Debian, go ahead and fork.
