Thanks back for the info.

They promised to make it completely free yet.

AFAIU remaining restrictions don't affect the freedom of the code developed.

They are developing bazaar, Ubuntu and a lot of
other interesting stuff. Even a GNU Emacs account exists:

https://launchpad.net/emacs

From my experience: never encountered a such easy-going beginning. If it
looks a little bit like a kindergarten, well, therefor it's made easy.

Anyway, don't stuck with launchpad, should you know another or better tool.
Its just an idea so far.
