However, we will not be linking to the PDFreaders.org site that you provided as we do not consider that it offers the genuine range of options that most site visitors would be interested in.
If they continue to just link to Adobe, it is an unfair competition advantage. This way they will make sure this area will be a monopoly.
I think the point here is that pdfreaders.org isn't an unbiased source of information about PDF readers. It isn't freepdfreaders.org, after all. It seems that they are indicating a willingness to link to an *unbiased* source of information about PDF readers.
So perhaps if the site included information on proprietary PDF readers, perhaps including warnings based on the number of security exploits or something similar, it would indicate the best choices without being biased against closed-source.
