Why not?

As a creator I believe I have the right to mix and match proprietary and Free 
tools.  

I want the directory to help me make an informed choice.  This includes 
information on all tools, not just Free ones.

I prefer to find out earlier than later if there are interoperability issues 
and how standard compliant a software is if there are standards.

Anti-competitive behavior that limits my freedom directly or indirectly should 
be exposed (e.g. NDA's that make it difficult or impossible for developers to 
support my need for interoperability).

The difference between advertising and information is that advertising centers 
on strengths only, conveniently forgetting to mention the weaknesses.  I would 
like to see an informative directory complete and honest, even if sometimes 
honesty is brutally hurting.
