Sorry. We do not host projects whose primary target are non-free platforms.
Even though your program is free software, we feel that by hosting it we would
be encouraging users to use a non-free platform instead of a free one such as
GNU/Linux, which is something we do not want to do.
If you decide to develop a version that runs on a completely free platform and
if you can guarantee that this version will always run as well as, or better
than, the MS-Windows version, you canthen register your project again. But
notice that if you want to write such a program for GNU/Linux you should
justify why it is better to write a new program rather than joining the sketch
or sodipodi teams.
