The Savannah hosting requirements say that the package must not depend
on running any nonfree software.  That is intended to mean, nonfree
softeware that the user would have to run.

Your package depends on talking to the server, true, but that server
is not a program that the users run.  Thus, morally it is a different
kind of issue.

Thus, I think we need to clarify the criteria to distinguish between
services and nonfree programs.

THanks for pointing this out to me, and please be patient now
since changing things like this can take time.
