First of all, thanks for the suggestions.
As Je'ro^me Marant points out, Gna! does not accept GPL v2 only projects
either: I'm not surprised[1], since it's operated by FSF France...
On the other hand, TuxFamily seems rather interesting.
One problem that _I_ have with TuxFamily is that almost all the web site
texts are in French only: I speak Italian and English, but not quite
French (I can manage to understand some simple sentences, but nothing
more... sorry).
[1] well, actually I _am_ surprised (and disappointed) that the FSF
won't host GPLv2 only projects, but, once I learned this, I'm _not_
surprised they mandate the same rule to national affiliates.
