As GNOME is a part of the GNU Project, it is supposed to follow the
GNU Project policies--and none of them is more important than the
policy towards non-free software.  Our reason for existence is that
non-free software is a bad thing.  To promote its use, to assert it
is a good thing, is to deny our goal.

Please stop promoting non-free software in these summaries.
