What encouragement are you talking about?I think such encouragement/assistance is consistent with Debian's stated goals.
The encouragement resulting from increased demand for a free alternative.
Are you equating "lack of support" for "assistance"?
No.
Or are you making the mistake of thinking that the software we distribute
in non-free is the same kinds of stuff as what we can't distribute at all?
No.
However, I hope you're not advocating that "Debian should only be used to develop software which will then be distributed through Debian" is a rule that everyone should live by.
Nearly. The Debian project should only be used to develop software which could then be distributed as part of the Debian operating system.
