You'd think that if everyone were supposed to know and agree to this that
there's be some kind of explicit promise which people were required to
make to that effect.
Instead, the only thing you can point at is a SUBTITLE and -- if you
want to get fancy -- the absence of some specific phrases from a rather
brief document.
In other words, you're taking an ambiguity and blowing it out of
proportion.
In my opinion, what that document is promising is a lack of dependencies
on non-free, not a requirement that people talk a certain way.
