True.

  I don't understand.  We're using a free software (free enough, in
fact, that its development is hosted on Savannah).  This software is
called Sourceforge, and it's been written for sourceforge.net.  We're
not allowed to remove copyright info, are we?  And even if we were,
it's a matter or courtesy to give credit where it's due.

  And as for the FSF HTML style sheet guidelines, I'm not sure they
apply to Alioth or Debian, as none of these include "WWW web pages in
HTML for the GNU/FSF web server".

Roland.
