Savannah allows using mercurial[0] and is likely less evil than sourceforge.

> Savannah has high project approval requirements and thus visitors can expect freedom-related qualities from projects hosted here

Is that code for "must be under GPL"? I'm a BSD man myself.

https://savannah.gnu.org/register/requirements.php

It does not explicitly give out a list on that page (to get that you need an account), but from a read it seems to say GPL-compatible which BSD is.

The repository has a very explicit goal: The expressed purpose of advancing free software that can run in free operating systems. Licenses aside, the answer to the question if a project is suited for Savannah is likely answered by looking at that goal.

I honestly do not know. I believe I had a MIT licensed project there many years ago, but I would not surprised if it's GPL only.
