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.
