What definition?
Your personal definition.

based on it, gtk or qt ar promoting installation of non free software
like Google Earth.
Or more bad yet, glibc is promoting non-free software like Oracle
Database or flash player
Similar to this is GNU Icecat when users visit youtube and don't work
with gnash and hundred forum make suggestion about install flash from adobe.

The line to define our actions not may be a personal evaluation or
personal thinking over hypothetical or theoretical situation.

We need make actions based in reality and define a clear process to
decide which package may be included.

Any personal opinion open a debate and divide our movement based in
different opinions.

we need make a "line" according to our objectives not based in
differences from personal opinions.
