The edit:

"These tools are recommended to be used if you want your work to be
considered by the ArtworkTeam. Using proprietary tools such as Photoshop
is frowned upon, and any submissions made with these tools are
discouraged. Tools that are recommended for members of the ArtworkTeam
include:"

I turned it into:

"We recommended the following tools for creating artwork. They are all
free software (free as in speech) and can be obtained by everyone at
virtually no cost without any licensing-hassle. This simplifies sharing
files and working together.

Promoting free software is one of the goals of Ubuntu and to do so, you
should use free software yourself wherever you can."
