It is not explicit about this. Some seem to have interpreted "not
refer the user to any nonfree software" as forbidding use with an
online service that is presumably implemented with nonfree software.
The clarification is to say that this clause does not apply
to using the program with a service.
Do you see now what I mean?
I think so. I suggest changing,
The package must not refer the user to any nonfree software; in
other words, it must not say anything that in our judgment is likely
to lead or steer users towards any nonfree software.

The package must not refer the user to any nonfree software; in
other words, it must not say anything that in our judgment is likely
to lead or steer users towards running or installing nonfree
software on their machine. E.g., communicating with network
services is fine since that doesn't require the user to install or
run nonfree software.
