"Remember, we do not support spamming or advertising other networks in channels topics or in other forms"

The wording here seems to reveal how freenode's new owners view this enterprise they're getting into - a competitive cash grab. No other IRC network has had any issues with mentions of other networks. If anyone was still on the fence about whether to stay, this crass heavy handed approach should push them off.
