Hi Sylvain, "nonprofit search engine" sounds like a search FOR non-profits either used by or to find non-profits, at least on my first readings. Maybe describe it as a "search engine non-profit"? Please consider moving to a more software-freedom-friendly hosting platform for the code, even if you continue mirroring at GitHub (which makes sense given visibility there). I think the https://www.gnu.org/software/repo-criteria.html doesn't have public reports about repos yet, but GitLab.com is the one most like GitHub that I am quite sure is at least a passing grade on the criteria. Please consider AGPL instead of the pushover Apache license. Best wishes on an ambitious but potentially valuable project. Myself and others at Snowdrift.coop will be happy to talk to you about both the common interest in healthy ethical governance of online platforms like ours and about you getting funded via our system if all is going well on your end by the time we finally get launched. I won't be at LibrePlanet, but a couple other Snowdrift.coop folks will be. Cheers, Aaron Wolf Snowdrift.coop
