Well, I think it should be fine to promote FOSS as long as it's good software. Regardless of what's welcomed in this forum. If it's good it's good, and no one should have a problem with it. (As long as it isn't blatant bill board advertising...)

You also stuck your definition of special treatment in this case with exactly what I was arguing about would be wrong (see above).
Who says you're always right?
It would been different if you gave this same <specialized> treatment to any software company, but you choose to give it only to FOSS.
If the above was true then you would have
not used the phrase "special treatment" and instead would have said
just treatment, used a different phrase, or word to describe the situation which would be relative to your thinking concerning a non-profit
or profit software organization instead of exclusive usage of "special treatment" for non-profit software organizations.

I assume you are now generalizing your argument to include any software which would be non-profit or profit organization owned or maintained. Which seems like a contradiction since you took so much time placing the word specialized in front of treatment when talking about non-profit software organizations (FOSS).
