OK...so it's not OK to blatantly advertise commercial products, but it's OK to
blatantly advertise the soi-disant Free Software Foundation's products. I get

GNU stuff is *not* free. It costs something other than money, though: it costs
your freedom to do as you like with your code if you include even a line of
their code. $150 sure sounds cheap by comparison.
