Let's not make a rule out of this.
Each and every one of those proprietary tools has to be looked at on its own.
E.g. some years ago there was quite a discussion about TrueCrypt and its 
license which led to the exclusion of truecrypt from almost all major distros. 
If that license issue isn't solved, I wouldn't change a jota of that decision.
