Obviously this is non-sense. If proprietary apps wouldn't be welcome, GNUstep would be
GPL, not LGPL. GNUstep is LGPL to explicitly allow  for that.

Let me rephrase it: the fact that the core GNU libraries are under LGPL does not mean that Opera, Skype and the NVidious drivers are contributions to the free software community that have to be welcomed. The strategy behind the LGPL is not to improve and expand the electronic colonization. You are free to develop such apps, just don't confuse the free people that they are a "contribution". We reject non-free software due to its unethical and antisocial nature and refuse to use it.
