I think some people are having trouble understanding what a promotion post is, thus the edit.
If you are not from that company, you can post about it, have discussions, talk about features in new versions, whatever. If you are from a company trying to promote your own product, that is when the rule applies.
How does this in any way impact your ability to post about a non-free product?

I think this is even more problematic. Why is it better that I shill for a company I’m getting kickbacks from rather than one I’m responsible for? Besides, this just lead to submarining and people pretending to “have just come across this project, what do you guys think?”

So everyone just adds a “I’m not working for x” to their posts?
