Well, someone did a long time ago. I don't feel honest in turning down
a project just because of their name and the idea of open source when
previous projects were accepted. I could if an there was an
explanation. Below are some examples. They are usually ancient. Most
of the time they only say open source and not free open source.

Projects with Open in their names:

http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/opendict
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/opendip
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/openpeer
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/openap
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/openvds
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/openvsd

Projects with "open source" in their project search description.
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/certi

Projects with "open source" in their project page summary.
