I agree that is better. Given Jim J's comment I think we'll want our own version of the page in mdtext. Probably as "free.mdtext". We'll need to adjust brand.mdtext and templates/brand.html to include the page's url. NL teams can adjust to link to translations in the NL directory. It is possible to translate the mdtext.
