[CREATE] Fwd: Re: [LGF-LGA] Ok, let's start with a website

First, I will use this email to say that I like the design, but would want a 
bit more contrast, and possibly less transparency under text to increase 
readability.

Because the website is about advertising Free Software not their proprietary 
counter part. It would be perfectly fine to mention them in an article on 
interoperability to show how well they shine, or their short coming. But I 
would agree that they do not belong to the software directory.

It is indeed your right, but not the goal of create and the libre graphics 
movement.

And I don't think the goal of that web site is about making an informed 
choice, it is about showing free software based work flow. It is not about 
lying about the capability of those software, but no reason to give free 
advertisement to proprietary products (do you see a link for the gimp or 
scribus on Adobe web site ? or for Krita on Corel's web site ? or ...).
