If by "repository" you mean merely the software that hosts the repository, then you are correct. If by "repository" you mean also all of the extensions and templates that are hosted in the repository, including GPL, trialware, demoware and other commercial, non OSS extensions, then I think Juergen is correct. In fact we've been told that this would be an issue for graduation. Since the repository with the hosted extensions is the relevant service to our users, I think that is what we should be concerned about. > Please keep your minds open.
