Below is my understanding of the evaluations: The essence of the criteria is that, web service is different from software, we (as users) cannot modify the software on other's server. So, it is not about free or non-free. Rather, it is about other ethical issues, e.g. privacy, accept users from all countries...

Of course, there are other alternatives, such as gogs, which is used by `notabug.org'. Cheers, Alex
