Adam F. Smith <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: FreeMedia
System name: freemedia
Type: GNU

Description:
  In participating in online independant media projects, I have found there to 
be critical flaws caused by reliance upon unix/linux software which will 
hamstring the growth and prosperity of the independent media movement 
worldwide. Therefore, it is necessary to immediately start the process to 
create software using the GNU Hurd OS.
 
  This software would be capable of transmitting text, pictures, and 
audio/video feeds to users. It would not require the organizational 
hierarchies currently required in the current models in order for media 
providers to distribute their content to their audience. It would be 
designed with delivery of news and public affairs content in mind.

Other Software Required:
The GNU Hurd OS, project will primarily be coded in C
