Forbidden? I'd rather say "inappropriate".
Stallman does say "please", so I guess I should have said
"undesireable" and maybe even "disrespectful." "Inappropriate" works.
And don't forget "punishable by Stallman's ire."

Please don`t use GNU newsgroups to recommend proprietary software,
regardless of what it is for. In particular, don`t send messages to
this list/group praising proprietary speech programs. It`s bad enough
that some people do use them; please avoid encouraging more to do so.

A few months ago, I found out that Knoppix included some non-free
software, and the developer said he didn't want to change that.
If he has changed his policies in the meantime, please tell me; that
would be good news. But otherwise, please do not recommend the use of
Knoppix on GNU mailing lists. Please recommend only entirely free
software.
(I am not on the help-gnu-emacs list; someone forwarded me a couple of
messages on this thread.)
However, Carbon Emacs is just as free as X11 Emacs, and it would be
stupid not to be able to talk about it on this group. This does
not constitute a recommendation for nonfree software in any way
that I can see. Sure, Carbon itself is nonfree, but we are not
promoting it merely by talking about Carbon Emacs, are we?
I'm not really sure.
I don't think I would have had any particular objection to "If you
only have the goal of using Emacs outside of the terminal, and you
don't mind missing out on the programs and features that you could use
under X11, you could just install the Carbon version." Pretty
different from the ringing endorsement of Carbon/Aqua that we heard.
