It's not a perversion of meaning to point out that a word means what it means even though you come up with some bizarre roudabout explanation why it doesn't.
>Gentoo dev's are not encouraging the use of non-free software
You only write and distribute an ebuild and document it if you want to encourage people to install such software.
If the ebuild developer didn't want to encourage the use of nonfree software, I'm sure they wouldn't have written such ebuild, or at least there would be a comment imploring the user not to use it - but there is no such comments.
>but some people want/require this non-free software thus it's better to host it in a friendlier, more free environment
Such proprietary environment cannot correctly be described as free or friendly - it's rather a less propriety environment than is more convenient.
As soon as you add a single proprietary program, without even a plan to replace it, you put yourself on the road to proprietary hell.
