It is not specified on the code of conduct if non-free software should 
be promoted. By the way of your reasoning this would also be allowed and 
is perfectly good for LibrePlanet.

I do not think that is the intent of LibrePlanet. I think the idea was 
to express positively all the values in favor of the position of the FSF 
and leave other values for people that think otherwise on their own sites.
