If I understand it better you wish to help general Emacs users without
regard if GNU as project would be giving all those references to
non-free software.
I find it unfortunate as that is not quite aligned with GNU project
and I hope you will not find that too odd, you have known that GNU
project is about free software.
Now I wish you good luck,
