Thanks a lot for your unbanning. I have removed all the non-source files from the host.
I still have some concern about "it's not an open source *project*". How do you define it is a open source project or not. I think I have 4 projects on the host now: 2 Android projects. 1 website. 1 for firefox, including some GreaseMonkey scripts and customization for firefox. Am I safe now?
