It is not specified on the code of conduct if non-free software should

and is perfectly good for LibrePlanet.
I fully agree with that
I do not think that is the intent of LibrePlanet. I think the idea was
to express positively all the values in favor of the position of the
FSF and leave other values for people that think otherwise on their
own sites.
No!
There is no strict equality Free Software <=> "FSF definition/position
on Free Software" *only the good one*
* BSD and some other licenses *is* Free software *with no strong
copyleft* (can't remain term), its a way to disagree with no strong
copyleft, but a wrong to not talk at all on that (FSF talks on that in a
right way)
* some distributions are free software but also offers non free sofware
-- clearly distinguishely, but are not recognished as free software
distributions by FSF (I disagree on that point on 1 distro I know
perfectly positions on Free Software are)
* even FSF cope with non free sofware (Lesser GPL, GPL softwares running
on non-free sofware OS or environment (and so using non free libraries
to build on /that OS/), etc). There could be stronger positions on that
last point than "cope with non-free environment": not to cope at all!
(not cope at all is also not my position: it will impair free software
spreading)
I agree on most of FSF positions, and I disagree on few points, as
anyone have freedom to think and have freedom to mind what a thing is or
is not a bridge of contention (unsure of last 3 words in English,
French: un point d'achoppement).
Promote FSF ideas is *good*, but even dd is "copy convert" :)
TSFH.
