Probably, fine (though proprietary software does have some different needs.) I'm not against tools which make it easier to write and distribute proprietary software. I just think that 1) GNOME is an odd place to be distributing it, and 2) I have traditionally admired their strong software freedom positions, which would be rather less credible if they sell it as "GNOME 4: Now with Photoshop."
