In the GNU project we don't link to sites that recommend, or could
cause a user to install non-free software.  Linking to such a site
would be self defeating -- the whole point is to make such software
irrelevant.

Not staying silent on the subject seems like a good idea, but then one
can do so without linking to any offending site, and instead explain
why non-free software is bad.
