It's you who is misconstruing the meaning of the word 'encourage' constantly. Package maintainers are not the guys who host the repo's, and the guys who host the repo's aren't necessarily the guys who code Gentoo. I'm sure the guy who maintains one of the proprietary packages might like that software. That doesn't mean everyone in the chain does.

Saying a Distro encourages a piece of software to me means prepackaging it or advertising it, not having a user written article and an ebuild voluntarily maintained by a random guy. I think it's you who's being dishonest to call that 'encouragement'.
