TuxFamily is a French free-software-hosting service that has been in operation since 1999. It is a non-profit that accepts "any project released under a free license", whether that is a software license or a free-content license, such as CC-BY-SA. It is also, unfortunately, slowly dying due to hardware failures and lack of interest. For example, the site's download servers are currently offline with no plan to restore them.
According to a page on the site's wiki, TuxFamily was created by Julien Ducros to host projects for friends. It grew into a more general-purpose platform for free-software projects, and became a non-profit organization ("association loi de 1901") in 2001 to be able to accept donations for hardware. According to that history, by 2004 it provided services to more than 1,000 open-source projects and was "an important actor in the free software development in France".
