Indeed right, but I have some reasons for doing it this way.
a) wush.net offers repositories for professional usage and they take money for
that service, I don't want to attack their business.
b) My intention was not to build up a commercial service, it was meant for
personal usage. Of course, there is berlios.de, but it offers much more, many
things that many people don't need. Additionally, the sign up is somewhat
complicated and annoying.
c) If people want to use it as hidden repository, it's still possible. The FAQ
says:
"If you don't want to have your repository open for everyone for reading(not
for writing of course), you need a good reason(We are open for good
argumentation, just send us an email) or you should consider donating a
little money."
