 I may be wrong but my guess is that at least half the backlog of the
evaluation team falls into this category. A good example, IMHO is
www.carbonkernel.org.  Then, there is a whole bunch of softwares that
are published in the debian distribution and slowly migrate to
sourceforge.net although they would love to go in a Free Software
place instead of an Open Source place.
