That is indeed our policy, but I think this case doesn't fall under
it.  This is not a matter of supporting a proprietary program.  Rather
it is a matter of talking remotely with a server.

See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/network-services-arent-free-or-nonfree.html.

I don't think we need to reject this on principle.  It's just a practical
technical matter.
