Well, the original poster apparently believed that he *had* to transfer the
program to the FSF in order to put it under the GPL, which is obviously wrong.

Could you precise what it means? 99 % of the projects at SourceForge are free
software, according to <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html> and
most are GPL.
This really looks like FUD against SourceForge, but using a spurious
difference between "free" and "open source".

SourceForge works today but don't worry, their code is free
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/alexandria/>, you can use it :-)
