!!! First things first, this is *not* a specific dig at freindscard - or
!!! any other non-free project in Garage.

Now, now the disclaimer's out of the way, what is the general thought
about non-free software in garage.maemo.org? It /feels/ a little wrong
(even if you don't describe to RMS levels of conviction about free
software): maemo.org is the home of the Maemo Community and Garage is
a service offered to projects who need a VCS, a homepage and some
download space.

However, non-free software isn't going to use the VCS and there are
other solutions for proprietary apps to have homepages and some
download space.

What's the benefit to those projects, and to maemo.org, of providing
these services to non-free projects?

Cheers,

Andrew
