Mainly about whether or not to promote and advertise non-free software. As you probably know the FSF and the GNU project have a very strong opinion about that. Debian takes the approach that offering and supporting a non-free package archive isn't a real problem. Some people disagree. (Just compare the very poor support for most of the free software packages written in the java-language to work out of the box with free VMs compared to other distributions who strongly supports only using Free Software. e.g. Red Hat with rhug, naoko and native-eclipse.) Although it is important to stress these philosophical differences, don't let that distract you from the immediate problem of what to do about these compromises of our free software collaboration infrastructure and checking your machines for things that might not be as they are supposed to be.
