Follow-up Comment #1:
Hi tag9010,
Thanks for your interested in GNU/non-GNU Savannah and cheers to making the
world a better place. While your work is interesting, I'm not sure that we
will be a good fit for hosting.
Firstly, asside GNU/Linux User Groups and whatever FSF/GNU may require, we
generally host development projects.
Moreover, it is an absolute requirement that projects hosted here be
distributed under GPL/AGPLv3+ (or a compatible free software license[1][2].
Perhaps even more vitally, we are obligated to ensure projects we host do not
reference the free software software they provide as "Open Source".[3][4]
Aside the hosting request, given your focus is on ensuring free access to your
(and derived) works in purpurite, I suggest following the requirement we have
for projects hosted here:
Do not talk about your program as Open Source; if you want to talk about Open
Source explain why it is problematic (and how Free Software differs).
If any of this isn't make sense let me know, I'd love, especially, to get more
"into the weeds" on the subject of "why open source misses the point" (third
link, below) or anything else that might help you and your project move
forward. I'll leave this ticket in an open state for now, against the
-small, I'm afraid- chance we might be able to find a way Savannah could help
with your work.
All the best,
Corwin
