How? How, exactly does this sound great?
It's one thing to disallow "Works with Linux", it's quite another level of to crazy to disallow "works with windows" and "works with mac" badges as well.
A hardware vendor is primarily interested in selling widgets, if slapping a "Works with Linux" badge on the box will help sell a few percent more widgets they will do it and the customers will be a little bit happier.
No hardware vendor is ever going to take off the windows and mac badges to appease FSF and get the coveted "FSF GNU WTF" badge that none of the customers know to look for.
