[directory-discuss] Free Software DIrectory Database Backup

[Marta Rogers]

Hello,

does the Free Software Directory have periodic backups of its database 
somewhere? If it doesn't, would it be possible for somebody to setup a cron job 
to save periodic dumps of the FSD database?
The data is released under GFDL, but it's currently impossible to use it. It's 
like having a free, obfuscated javascript: it is free, but it's practically 
impossible to reuse. This is what the data in the FSD looks like.

Thank you for your time and understanding, I hope somebody will consider my 
email and actually reply.
