if/since free distros will be supported as well as nonfree distros, i don't see a problem with it.  seems completely analogous to programs that support windows/mac as well as gnu/linux.  so i approved it.  tx.

Good points, I'll fix them and re-post.

Regarding CC-BY-SA: no problem.

Regarding OSes: I'll add OSes from this list: http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html

Regarding RMS: by all means, please do.
If there's a way to configure some 'problematic' OSes to be acceptable, I'll do that.

The goal is to help test GNU pacakges on multiple systems, which is why I prefer to also include systems which are in common use (as long as they are acceptably free).

An example of what I hope to promote is this (a response to 'platform-testers'):

Hi Assaf - well, one immediate point is that CC-BY-SA is not compatible with the FDL for the documentation.  I trust you won't object to dual- or re-licensing.

Aside from that, even though we discussed this already, I somehow feel unsure of something that only works with non-endorsed distros, even if you are eliminating the nonfree parts where feasible.  Would you be up for adding at least one of the free distros?

I'd feel better if we confirmed this with rms, in any case.  Sorry.

The virtual-machine images are pre-configured to have similar settings and similar tools installed.

The hosted files on GNU Savannah will include build & run scripts (GPLv3+) and a manual/cookbook (CC-BY-SA 4.0).

The actual virtual-machine image files will be hosted outside GNU Savannah.
