Sorry, but I can't keep track of who is or isn't subscribed to this

   I don't see how you make this connection. Why would a
   classification as I suggested necessarily "end up" as a
   recommendation?

Since these companies will be listed as GBN friendly companies (with a
little sign saying something about their "status"), you tell users
that these companies are OK.  When infact, they are not, since they
recommend/develop non-free software.  What is the point to classify
businesses that do something that is not acceptable?

Cheers (and bed time for me)
