I think it was an answer of Alfred I was quated there, not yours.
I don't know what of your words you are referring to.

I don't understand how is that an argument for this discussion? With all
the respect to you.

If today's web browser do not conform to the GNU standard as
(mis)interpreted by some hard-core people here, than those browser's do
not follow GNU guidelines. I am not sure what they should do to actually
conform to that point 8. of guidelines if they are not to mention or
display sites that refer to non-free software. If they are to conform to
the GNU guidelines (as of current) they should not render those sites
(or fetch them).

The point: consider repology.el to be just another browser; I don't see
what would be difference if someone opens repology.org in Emacs or in
Firefox.
