You personally are free to use nonfree programs if you wish.
The GNU Project has never advocated stopping you.
However, to make them a requirement for participation in this
GNU-related activity raises a serious issue. It would mean excluding
GNU activists such as Alexandre and me specifically because we uphold
the purpose of GNU.
That's an example of "letting the means run away with the ends."

The overall purpose of GNU is pertinent in all discussions of how
to advance GNU.
