Yes, I know the current contribution guidelines don't allow the inclusion of Pelles C. But what about modifying the contribution guidelines to be less strict?

I have the impression that the list owner is an overzealous open source purist or that he wanted to make his list as corporate-friendly as possible. Corporations want a good reference so they can choose what to use and what to avoid.

The terms of use for Pelles C are as follows:

Pelles C is freeware for any use: personal, commercial, etc. No registration is required to download it, and you can use it anonymously. Pelles C can be freely distributed, but it can not be sold. Pelles C is provided 'as-is', without any expressed or implied warranty. In no event will the author be held liable for any damages arising from the use of this software.

Pelles C is totally free. However, some users may want to express their gratitude by donating some money. If Pelles C is a major part in building a product sold for money, it seems fair (to me) to donate a little bit of that money to Pelles C - but this is never required.

Donations will help to pay for this website, my time spent on support, and any possible new versions.

As you can see, it's corporate-friendly. You could develop commercial applications with it.

 What about you turning to a list that's less restrictive? Or fork it and do what ever you want with it.

 This isn't Twitter you know. Please drop it.

I only want to discuss. The restriction to only open source is nonsense. It's reasonable if this list is limited to libraries only, though. But it isn't. You will miss a lot of awesome tools that is free but not open source.
