So you are saying Google forces the user to place a friend in at least one
circle?

I tried reading the paper but it was too technical for me. I am not trying
to reinvent the wheel. I just thought FreedomBox would only accept stable
software. AFAIK there was no stable social networking software. At first
glance friendika seems stable to me with a version number of 2.2, but you
guys are the techies. Will friendika be excluded from selection because of
it's BSD license?
