Your quote is misleading. There are a list of reasons on that page, you imply it's just that one reason.

> So shipping free software isn't even enough for admission to the FSFs special club.

If you're free is designed to "lead others to make use of" nonfree software, then of course not: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

Not misleading. You can ship entirely free software and that's not enough.

[fsflover]

If your "entirely free software" downloads or suggests non-free software, than it's not actually entirely free.

[2OEH8eoCRo0]

If they ship a complete and working OS that is free it should be considered free. This dogmatic all or nothing attitude is exactly why I ignore the FSF.

[fsflover]

With your logic, I can create a small free software program, which automatically downloads some proprietary malware and you will call it all 'free as in freedom'.

[2OEH8eoCRo0]

No. I specifically used the keyword 'complete'

> complete and working OS

What is a "complete OS"? You always need to install some new packages.
