This is something I don't understand regarding that. Why is simply
mentioning the name of a missing file considered to be a recommendation?
A file name is a file name, and any executable can be given any file
name. Yeah, I get it, people can Google file names and find proprietary
files, but what if someone Googles some libre recommended program and
for one reason or another the search returns a similar proprietary
program instead? Where exactly is the line here?
