I like this posting, by using a macro there are no changes required to FreeCAD. Good idea!
I don't like it. It kind of promoting for them for free. If the macro is not bonded to a commercial party, that's fine.
If the macro is not automatically installed, I see no problem.
The company has payed FC to make a work that will ease "his customer" to model with FC and send the result to their site, where is the sin?
If there is not endorsement over a specific vendor, I will be happy that many companies will follow this path, for at least two reasons:
1) This indirectly will encourage customers of the company to FC. (enlarging the user base)
2) FC will receive money to improve his development (assuming that the funding will to to FCA), or someone will be payed to make some work with FC, that will have same effects as in 1)

If paid to ease modeling, yes, you are happy tell the world.
If paid to send result to their site, no, they have to tell the world by themself on their site or pay AD here. You don't need to do that for them for free.
I don't consider a post, informing of the macro in the Announcements Section, endorsing or promoting a single company.
