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.
