Congratulations :)
Please join the gnu-linux-libre list, intended for the coordination of
fully free GNU/Linux distributions and related projects, and add the
project info and links to http://groups.fsf.org/wiki/FreedSoftware

That's and important task, I'll help in what I can.

At Trisquel we are already using fossology to check our code (with
success), and I've requested the FSF a machine to run our own
installation and share it with all the FreedSoftware projects.

I think we need to find a way to link directly to the installers
instead of pointing the users back to extensions.OOo. With the Firefox
extensions is easy, but in this case a cgi redirector might be needed.
