I wouldn't put it like that.  Promoting FOSS hardly makes any sense.

On the contrary - it's almost the only thing that makes sense.

Several times, you end up having to decide between promoting software
freedom and promoting the software that happens to be Free (and OSS).

Yes, the divisive nature of the GPL is unfortunate.

Depending on whether you're guided by FS or OSS values, you'll tend to
consistently choose one in detriment of the other.

Yes, that is unfortunate, but you have to live with it to promote FOSS.
