Free software users mustn't be enticed to use proprietary software. If there are multiple backends, the best (or equal-best) backend must rely on free software. If CUDA is a suboptimal (or equal-best) backend, that's ok. If CUDA is a better backend than a free software alternative, that's not ok. -- Sylvain
