    The fact a piece of free software allows you to use non-free
    software/codecs in itself is not an issue. Rather its the extent
    to which it facilitates doing so that is of concern. the FSF isn't
    so ideological as to try and ban the use of free software - if
    they were, you wouldn't have distributions like Red Hat or
    companies like Oracle doing a GNu Linux distribution and the
    ability to run non-free packages. Rather, they don't want to
    implicitly or explicitly encourage the use of non-free software
    and they want people to be aware they are using non-free softtware
    when they do.

You have stated it very well.
