Now I may sound like I got bitten by Richard, but, you keep saying "open source", not "free software". That matters. At least when you send out on this list. I will probably take a look at your project, but it doesn't feel like you are listening to marko . And you should.
Please please read your comments again.I'm very sad to hear such harsh comments when somebody proposes a tool for propagating knowledge about Free Software.
@Charles: Thanks for the info about your project! I think it's better to not create false dichotomies in people's mind:- Free Software (aka open source) is always commercially useable, that's freedom 0 - FSFE absolutely encourages building business models on creating, spreading, studying, using or improving Free Software! - As there's no free lunch, you've got to have some way to accept money if you want to build a sustaining infrastructure
So, I'd cut out the "non-commercial" attribute and would paraphrase it differently, better explaining what you mean.
Best wishes Michael
