I only meant to imply a specific variant of xboard for Palm
would be unlikely to attract the "GNU" label. Xboard itself
would probably do so if Tim wanted it. 

I think most Free Software authors are more attracted by the ftp
space, mirrors, SourceForge, and mailing lists offered through
Savannah, these are made available to other Free Software
projects on request and not just "GNU" software.

Everyone always wants to know where they can get Chess bitmaps
from, that is probably why Tim put that README in the bitmaps
directory ;)
