The question is: * Is the project distributed under a free software license? * Does it serve a useful purpose without recourse to proprietary tools? If so, then it's free software. If you can use the same package to build (say) a Windows installer and a Linux package, but the Windows installer needs system DLLS to do its thing, can you by-pass that to build the Linux package you want? If so, to me it's just two different back-ends, and as long as the one you're interested in works with free tools, I see no moral conflict.
