I find it amusing that you point at Debian, while they do have an
official non free add on repo.
I didn't. I pointed at the Debian Free Software Guidelines, which are
the commonly accepted criteria for what defines free software. Debian
got them right; that's why we use them, and that's why they define
Fedora. "Free for non-commercial use" is restriction on field of
endeavor, which directly undermines the intrinsic equality of free
software (see Linus' message about "why the GPL2 is a good license" for
why that equality is important).
Right now we have a very strong criteria for freedom. Weakening that
criteria it's a very slippery slope. Why is non-commercial okay? Why
not add non-modifiable? Why not add djb code? _That_ is why people are
objecting so loudly.
And for the record, Debian non-free is utter hypocrisy.
