@fsf I was able to install GNU Linux on my students 2011 iMac last week. Instead of using an OS that was no longer being supported, he got a totally new OS with stability and freedom.

@fsf what kinds of entries are allowed to be in the directory? If the software I co-write is licensed under the gpl, is that enough, can I add it there? Is it a problem if it's written in rust? I've heard some of y'all saying rust, the language itself, is prohibiting freedom or something like that because it uses crates.io, but everyone can host a custom crates registry no problem, plus a project can depend on crates from different registries if that's desirable. The only problem is static linking, but that's hard to solve because of the highly versatile generics system which can't be preinstantiated like c++ templates because those are used extensively and they are ment to be instantiated by the user of the library. So yeah, can I include the software if it's written in rust?
