Let us know anything at any time.


Current criteria:

  * For a program, read the Free Software definition [1] to
    know the criteria.

      [1] http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

  * For development languages, protocols, specifications,
    etc. the meaningful question is whether it is supported
    by software licensed under any of the Free Software
    Licenses [2]: BSD, GPL, etc. Can you use it with
    Free Software exclusively?

      [2] http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html

  * For software distributions, they must not recommend,
    promote or grant legitimacy to Non-Free Software.



P.S.: We are working on some improvements and on the HTTPS
interface to some of the webapp administration and management
operations: skills classification.
