I never said GMail is released under a free software license. AFAIK
GMail was never distributed as a package, it is just a web service. I
said, since I do not need to install GMail on my machine I am not
bothered. It satisfies my Free Software Guidelines, in the same way it
does not satisfy yours.
Firefox is deemed non-free by Debian, while FSF thinks it is ok. The
BSD allows something while the GPL does not.
Make your own choice.
