So, you mean you know very well the GNU philosphy and advices, but you
don't follow it outside GNU?.

Honestly, I think is a bit of hipocristy.  The GNU philosophy apply to
all software in the very same manner.  Just most GNU mantainers are
concerned about the GNU advices, but this don't imply than is good
when mantainers of non-GNU software tryies to *own* the software.

I mean: You are not enforced to care about GNU philosophy to host a
project in GNU Savannah, you just have to follow the requirements
(https://savannah.gnu.org/register/requirements.php).  However, it
would be a good act of courtesy if you help us to spread our ideas of
software freedom by using the appropiate terms.  Apart of whether you
use, or you don't use any GNU software/service we *ask* you to help
spreading our ideas :).

Good luck.
