Would this also be > considered "promoting proprietary software"? The point here is that the FSF is a charitable nonprofit which promotes free software. Their servers have usage guidelines: https://savannah.gnu.org/register/requirements.php Basically, helping Free software to work on non-Free operating systems is ok, as long as the non-Free OS is not the proprietary target and the software works best (or equal) on Free systems. Supporting or advertising non-Free software is not ok. So the opinions of our hosts are pretty clear. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlTCnqAACgkQ+vesoDJhHiXH6QCgl2UuilhPUpVCJSkiwmAou20d IKkAmwTVZe0dyDVwM0mVdVc+W76qOJOa =AJjx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
