That rule is a myth. Their campaign sites like
http://badvista.fsf.org and http://www.defectivebydesign.org/ have
links to and about non-free software - with commentary, but still
links. I think it's counter-productive to spend so much time
badmouthing the competition, but I'd be happy to see a link from
fsf.org to debian that noted we have different views on some aspects
of freedom.
There are also a few links on fsf.org but I'm not mentioning them on
this public mailing list else they'll just get removed. One I would
like removed is http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/ -> Wiki ->
Atlassian Confluence. (Yeah, GNU.org, proprietary webapp lovers and
AGPL advocates...)
Anyway, does this thread count as debian.org mentioning non-free.org?
If so, we've lost already, actually.
