If you take as your goal the increased popularity of certain free software, if you seek to convince more people to use some free programs some of the time, you might think those nonfree programs are helpful contributions to that goal.

If the widespread use of GNU or Linux is the ultimate goal of our community, we should logically applaud all applications that run on it, whether free or not.
