Odd.
The hosting policies at
http://savannah.gnu.org/faq/?group_id=5802&question=Project_-_How_to_get_it_approved_quickly.txt
say:
# GNU GPL-compatible license: your license should be listed as
# compatible at
# http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html. Alternatively you can
# use the GNU Free Documentation License for technical
# documentation. You can also use the Affero GPL.
cheers, Rich.
