Personally, after having read it the first time, I wouldn't have
expected web browsers to be excluded from a free distribution due to
their recommendation of non-free "add-ons". I don't disagree with this
interpretation; it simply would not have occurred to me. It requires
some imagination and some time thinking about the issues and the
particularities of the software we use.
So, I think the language of the text and its interpretation are actually
not obvious. And in this case, the point of the patch in question can be
achieved by another method, so I personally didn't want to spend time
interpreting the FSDG when I could spend it on something else.
