It's software under the original Artistic License, software recommending
nonfree software (which is free and FSDG-incompatible), software being
fixed or something else?

disagrees.  Essays included in documentation of some GNU packages are a
different case, they aren't documentation (e.g. their purpose is
explaining the opinions of the original developers, not showing how to
use the software, updating software doesn't change these opinions so
there is no need to modify the essays).
