I like it but I would just leave the last sentence out, or I would
change it to "Communicating with a network service usually
does not steer users toward running or installing nonfree software on
their machine."
That is a better wording, having that extra example would make it
abundantly clear what is meant -- but leaving it out also makes sense.
The package must not refer the user to any nonfree software; in
other words, it must not say anything that in our judgment is likely
to lead or steer users towards running or installing nonfree
software on their machine.
