Hello everyone,
based on what we said I would add the following paragraph to the hosting requirements of NonGNU Savannah (http://savannah.nongnu.org/register/requirements.php), in the section "No dependencies on nonfree software" before the last paragraph: "A different case is when the program talks across a network with a server running on another machine, and the server is proprietary or has an unknown license; unless the two pieces of software make a single program (for example because they exchange complex data structures intimately), the client does not really depend on the server. In such scenario the user is not required to install nor run any proprietary software on per computer, so there's no dependency of the client on the server, even if the server's responses are needed for the program's main functionalities; said client program is therefore eligible for hosting." Please review it carefully. I think that in some cases two pieces of software which talk across a network are actually a single program, so I tried to exclude that case after reading https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#MereAggregation Warmly, Andrea G. Monaco
