Hmm, okay, then I think the pages at gnu.org are out.  Most sites
where people are having their private stuff are related to non-free
content somehow.

OT: When this policy is strictly enforced, what about projects under
www.gnu.org/software which have their main pages at sites like
SourceForge?  Would they have to move?

Seems to be a hard proof to me... especially when you don't know about
the future, as most of us do.

What would be the status of documentation released under a
appropriately free license, such as the GNU documentation license?
Would it be possible to put such stuff at gnu.org, so that the
link-problem is solved?
