IMO using free tools is fundamental to community developed effort. Using something else means going it alone.
The following comment used to live in the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/CommunityThemes page but I don't see it now. "Submissions should be made in formats that can be read by software available from the Ubuntu Repositories. Preferred image formats include XFC, SVG, and PNG. Preferred sound formats include WAV, FLAC and OGG Vorbis. Master files, which may be further edited, should be maintained in non-lossy formats and made available to the community. Preserving vector graphics, raster layers and channels is important for such materials." We currently don't have a goals and objectives page for the team but if we did I would advocate the use of free tools be there.
