 A message string in
 [https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/wordpress.org/public_html
 /wp-content/themes/pub/wporg-main/page-about-philosophy.php?marks=79#L79
 page-about-philosophy.php] is bad language, even in context with the
 preceding strings. The sentence

 "The most responsible use of WordPress community resources would therefore
 be put to best use by emphasizing high quality contributions that embrace
 the freedoms provided by the GPL."

 is not good English, and should be rephrased. I suggest something like

 "The WordPress community should emphasize that the freedoms in the GPL
 help provide high quality software."

 although I cannot guarantee that this is what the original author tried to
 say.
