Sounds like a cool marketing strategy. I think it is very important to 
recognize freedom too in the marketing because people often forget it 
and think that the reason to change to free software is for short 
lasting motivations. Also, mentioning freedom centers quality around it 
instead of temporary functionality in lieu of freedom. This saves the 
business from installing non-free drivers of firmware in favour of 
raising the user's freedom. It will be valued and payed for by more 
customers.
