The point here is that the FSF is a charitable nonprofit which promotes free software. Their servers have usage guidelines: https://savannah.gnu.org/register/requirements.php Basically, helping Free software to work on non-Free operating systems is ok, as long as the non-Free OS is not the proprietary target and the software works best (or equal) on Free systems. Supporting or advertising non-Free software is not ok. So the opinions of our hosts are pretty clear.
