The question is will you download any software that can be downloaded
without any payment irrespective of the license? Will you also
download pirated software from rapidshare (it is also freely avaible)
if someone requests it.
No No :). We will only promote those software that have OSI approved
Licenses. This is specifically mentioned in the article about the
service

We are promoting non-GPLed software also because I think that
ultimately what matters is the promotion of alternatives to
proprietary systems. That is why we chose OSI licenses instead of just
GPL. Also we are hardcore against piracy, not just because it is
illegal but I believe that is a very good way to promote FLOSS.
