I like your edit better. It is in the spirit of encouraging the use of
free software and pointing out what free software is available, while
not explicitly discouraging users of other software from contributing.

I think the page could be improved by linking to some of the excellent
screen casts available for The GIMP and Inkscape. They are a wonderful
resource for artists learning new software but most artists I've
talked to don't know that they exist.
