Even though I think that those solution are not the best, I do think
they are better than the nonfree software.  Thank you for your work
proposing and promoting them.

Kindly allow me to suggest.  Calling them "alternatives" validates the
nonfree versions.  A better word to show people the problem is to call
them "replacements".  It is not mandatory; but it helps advancement of
the freedom agenda.  Words are powerful!
