I think that witty/clever slogans can definitely be a balanced part of
our daily marketing campaign. Riffing on the OP I'm thinking something
along the lines of:
  "This is a plug for Freedom.
  Continue reading inside the Box"

Or maybe:

"Some Boxes
  are closed.
    This Box is open.

  FreedomBox"


And yes, we'll definitely have to localize our slogans. Otherwise
we'll end up with hilarious stuff like:
"This is a free plug. Continue reading the box" or "Some boxes closed.
This field is open. Freedom Square"

(personally I would be very amused to have a shanzhai plug computer
with Engrish on it, but I think that market segment is rather small!)
