Yes, this is a good aproach. But sometimes it is also difficult not to mention the problems of non-free software. For example when you want to explain that Free Software is not leading to service monopolies, it is difficult not to mention that non-free software is leading towards monopolies. I think you can explain such things, but than you have to be careful about the tone.
