-snip- The download page is not a place for OS advocacy. No user is going to think "hmm, this lilypond thing sounds interesting. Maybe I should download it. Oh look, a chunk of text that isn't relevant to the task at hand. I love reading irrelevant text! oh my goodness, apparently other operating systems are more free than my current one. I guess I'd better start backing up all my data so that I can switch to a new OS". The website is (mostly) streamlined, presenting just enough info to the user to answer the immediate question at each stage of the process. I don't mind if you want to expand the Introduction->Freedom page, but I am very wary of adding material elsewhere unless it's absolutely necessary.
