You expect, and guess, and assume quite alot about the GNU Project and the FSF.
I'm sure I've read it somewhere, but I can't find it on the new web sites. The section "Donated computers" on http://www.gnu.org/gnu/the-gnu-project.html suggests that it happened even in that flagship FSF project at first. Why not in others?
Mark, you do realise that `donated computers' is not the same as `donated software', let alone `they require non-free software to run'?
Debian still has a non-free Java system despite there being free ones.
Which of the java systems in debian (classpath, ecj, gcj, gij, jamvm, kaffe, sablevm, maybe more) is non-free?
Sun Java. Then there is also a non-free flash program in Debian, despite the existance of gnash.
But can we drop this for anotherday? I'm much more interested in the whole FSFE recommending and distributing non-free software to people deal than this old tirade that we have gone through several times now. :-)
