+<p>Note that these services are referred to by their domain names,
+rather than their common names (eg: savannah.gnu.org vs. Savannah).
+That is because the underlying software, running on most of these
+servers, is also available for self-hosting as Free Software.
+This list focuses primarily on the ethics of the service operators,
+rather than the properties of the server software;
+so it is important to emphasize that these criteria were applied
+only to each specific instance, operated by a specific organization.
+Only one of these criteria (A1) relates to the server software.</p>
