That paragraph is at:

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

But there is a disclaimer in that same page that says:

  If your Free Software project is not an official GNU package, it
  will be discussed by address@hidden This discussion will attempt to
  find out if your project can be accepted. Registering your project
  here will initiate this approval process.

So, I think we are safe.
