They are not _necessarily_ the same a prioi, I agree.
If there is an emulator (or whatever) that we know will only run
nonfree softwsre, we _might_ want to make a rule not to include
it in free distros.

But not necessarily.  It would not be out of the question to
use just an "urge" as I've chosen for ScummVM.

After all, this is not a matter of including nonfree software in the
distro.  It is a possible negative influence that works against our
principles, but it is not outright against them.
