It's nice to have more sites become involved in the free software
|
|
movement but I think that it's presumptuous to call this "The Free
|
|
Software Project". This name implies that you are the (or a ??) major
|
|
project to develop free software for the "open source" movement.
|
|
Presently, the "Free Software Foundation" (and others) do this. Much
|
|
of this software is licensed under the "Free Software Foundation's"
|
|
General Public License.
|
|
|
|
But it seems that your site will just discuss free software and not
|
|
develop it. The name you picked will be confused with the Free
|
|
Software Foundation and their longstanding project to develop free
|
|
software (upon which Linux was based). If you had named it something
|
|
like Free Software News (or Discussion) it would have been more
|
|
appropriate.
