Not all hosters we know may be librehosters, still we want to keep track of them.

What do you mean, why aren't they librehosters?

almereyda commented 6 years ago

They are not a collective that you could join easily.

y0va commented 6 years ago

How do you want to test how easy it is to join a collective?

almereyda commented 6 years ago

I would check their website, if it contains an invitation to join the group.

y0va commented 6 years ago

You're apparently right.

AFAIK Stallman first used the word libre to distinguish modifiable code from simple open source code licenses. Transfered to hosting that would mean whether the hosting process is modifiable. To modify it, you need to become a member of the team.

A friend noted that Greenhost, for example, are also not a collective that one could easily join. Yet they are in the list. It turns out it can be a good reason to proceed with building the https://github.com/libresh/catalogue, "awesome librehosters 2.0".
