From Georg C. F. Greve, 2009-02-09:
My personal comments on the policy would be that dependencies to operating systems that are proprietary are not good, but seem acceptable, as this will bring at least some additional freedom to the user.
Using proprietary languages/technologies (e.g. .NET) is acceptable if a Free Software implementation of that technology exists (e.g. Mono) and the reader is known to work with that.
Dependencies on proprietary libraries is therefore an issue that depends whether or not those libraries can reasonably be considered part of the operating system libraries.
If that is the case, I think we can accept it.
If they need to be installed extra, I think it is not okay.
