> To do my job and boot my laptop nonguix is required but not even allowed to talk about it with the OS it intends to support, is not something I can agree with

The OS isn't a person. The OS has online discussion forums and the people who develop the OS CAN talk about it in the appropriate forum. Identifying and separating nonfree issues is a useful tool in their goals.

The FSF last year started a new campaign that is specifically meant to not be hardline and to respect the needs and desires of users: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/support-the-freedom-ladd....

Issues are not always easily separated but I understand it's a tool for their goals. It's just not for me
