Strange feeling reading theses lines saying, for example that Freeciv, 
KDE or Gimp are « foreign sofware ».
What about Free Software community?
Have you think about Brave GNU World : one could think that software 
listed here are under the FSF copyright!!!

Should we make a hierarchy between Free Software to be nice with people 
that dont want to make the effort to inform them a little : What kind 
of Free Software's developpers are the ones who have never heard about 
savannah?.

hu?
People that have never heard anything about Savannah should be able to 
understand be themselves that FSF provide this ressources?



To me, it make sense that a GNU project software is located in
www.gnu.org/softwares
And that a FSF approved project software is located in
www.freesoftware.fsf.org



Dvdtool project description has been reviewed by savannah hackers. They 
have (and it's seem right to me) choosed to ACCEPT hosting this 
project, since it's clearly a Free Software.
It's a freedom that Free Software give to make a fork. It's probably 
not the better way but it's completely legal.

So savannah hackers AND the FSF have surely a part of responsability in 
this.

The FSF in
www.freesoftware.fsf.org
means:
- the FSF provide ressource
- the FSF thinks this project is Free Software and so, support it.

The FSF should take his responsabilty and choose:
- to reject project that is fork (that would be strange, since php3 can 
be see as a fork)
or
- to accept any kind of Free Software project and assume what hosting a 
project means
