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.
