I think the biggest issue is that your product is not from a company generating money (and taxes).
IMO as an european, I think we should aim for open source, not corporate software, but free and open source software is generating way less jobs and taxes money.
The site has a lot of open source projects though, in fact i found about copyparty[0] from it because it was listed as an alternative to file hosting services (though it was removed since then, probably because it isn't a service :-P but still there are various FLOSS projects).
