Really these criteria are for anyone who cares about the issue.
We don't need to write separate "criteria are non-GNU projects".
But we could explain more clearly what these are for.

WDYT?

If people don't want to heed our adcice, they ca do whatever they
like.  If they disagree with some critera, they don't need our
explicit permission to disregard those.

However, for those that want to heed our advice, we sh0uld give them
the same advice we give each other.
