Savannah initially ran on the same SourceForge software that at the time was used to run the [[SourceForge]] portal.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://savannah.gnu.org/ |title=Savannah: Welcome |website=GNU Savannah |access-date=26 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010227154942/http://savannah.gnu.org/ |archive-date=27 February 2001 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Savannah's website is split into two domain names: '''savannah.gnu.org''' for software that is officially part of the [[GNU Project]], and '''savannah.nongnu.org''' for all other software. Unlike [[SourceForge]] or [[GitHub]], Savannah's focus is for hosting [[free software]] projects and has very strict hosting policies, including a ban against the use of non-free formats (such as [[Adobe Flash]]<ref name="NonGNU hosting requirements" />) to ensure that only free software is hosted. When registering a project, project submitters have to state which [[free software license]] the project uses. Project owners do not have the freedom of deleting their submitted projects on their own wish and the staff has a policy of refusing all deletion requests, unless the project was approved by mistake or has always been empty.<ref name="NonGNU hosting requirements">{{cite web |title=Hosting requirements - site wide |url=http://savannah.nongnu.org/register/requirements.php |website=GNU Savannah |publisher=Free Software Foundation, Inc. |access-date=27 May 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Savannah documentation/RemovingProject|url=https://savannah.nongnu.org/maintenance/RemovingProject/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201223065309/https://savannah.nongnu.org/maintenance/RemovingProject/ |archive-date=23 December 2020 |website=GNU Savannah |publisher=Free Software Foundation, Inc. |access-date=27 May 2021}}</ref>
