Follow-up Comment #1:
Your project requires proprietary software and cannot be hosted on Savannah
for this reason.
Savannah is willing to provide resources and time to developers writing Free
Software that can be used without the need to ask permission from proprietary
software vendor.
We only host projects that can run on a free operating system (such as
GNU/Linux).
Today, completely free operating systems exist, and we have adopted this
policy because we do not want to encourage users to switch to proprietary
operating systems in order to use your program.
If you are willing to maintain a version for free operating systems, which
work as well as or better than other ports, you can then provide versions for
non-free systems as well. The idea is that at no point should only-free users
be at a disadvantage compared to users of proprietary software.
Your project should always work equally well in free systems as in any other
version you provide; if you have some modules for non-free systems, you can
delay their release until you have released the free operating system version.
Thank you for your understanding.
Regards.
