You should never use SaaSS." And here: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html "With free software, we, the users, take back control of our computing. Proprietary software still exists, but we can exclude it from our lives and many of us have done so. However, we are now offered another tempting way to cede control over our computing: Service as a Software Substitute (SaaSS). For our freedom's sake, we have to reject that too." The purpose of s3cmd is to provide a command-line interface to Amazon S3 and CloudFront, which are services. The only use for s3cmd is to enable people to use those services. With that in mind, does s3cmd meet the guidelines for inclusion, or does it not? I'm not sure, and I would appreciate a second opinion. =2D-=20 Chris --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJW+h/iAAoJEN1AmhXYIkad9PEP/1DK1yN2jHdE9PTLOUjOm5df FVlyCYjkUYlY6RhT8fCG1oycQbOi+Dq1H4Qmhzm1DO9ItGCZPZtdqgKFACMo7v9l S3P+GA1SqUzF+ZcOF0CW8Xiqzfu6D4H7aj98CJdHzcU4E+iAOilDWgwjXkvz3OfL ZL3v5XcSKtMNTUDVImTt9dba9pTnwVvO607skJDTwiuCEuuv0SCIdfuZb4OFkDxD u5I4p2UfnFPJWqky4Rh2Jpd9UI8qYeBo4Jh84MPPaT4HIy16ur0qEWjnt9MyGCJ5 TxA9r5Tqt2QjJJR2DWjk8U791sBla9H6fB96rAjXvLrCEkqyFF2yqELhqK3VElcO v3Q7q8YPoctgumrztculIxvmvfG3L7rj5GaHp9y9BFxl/8Gu/DjOOhp5jDUWoF03 LdxYLgSKZBLsPtHVHI3niWYqyvwt4G0Q2smu+5KlTOQTQOscnkbF1jiwk8mdt/x/ IDzuU+gc3EZekIZ4W+2BH5/oGptDyPKyPfvAZKeG0vlQFc4Be4eHrgOFy3z9BIo7 PtxEHwADlhrol89jxHiUfjpKo1B4jTQk7Yr3AN6f686iN2bbBe1ToXnVci3FhfA4 erkEAQrWUhHTzmByJoGAZxwCR0SyjZBM7jxlZkUwc1j37Db717qT/OT0RRvObv2F 8Lje6tTaD1BvjHYI+tyz =NQH1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
