The FSF freedom I don't believe in is that FSF should decide which plugins openoffice.org may provide to their users.
But the FSF never asked for that, did it?

From the article: "The OpenOffice.org Community Council has been asked by the FSF to give the
FSF an effective veto over which extensions should be permitted to appear in this repository."
Probably FSF asked to only provide extensions with a license approved by FSF.

greets,
Staf.
