Hi Andrey,



I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.



We need a detailed technical description that specifies such

requirements as programming languages and external libraries.  It should

be at least one-half a page.



The license you chose qualifies your software as free software but it is

incompatible with the GNU GPL.



We only host software published under licenses compatible with the GPL,

which allows developers to combine files from any project without fear

of a licensing problem.



If you are willing to switch to a GPL-compatible license, please let

us know.



You can get a list of various licenses and comments about them at

http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html.



If you still wish to use your current license, we will be happy to

discuss it with you.



On the other hand, can you provide us with an URL to download the

source code? or if you prefer you can submitted to this tracker.



We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to

catch potential legal issues early.



For example, to release your program properly under the GPL you must

include a copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements at

the beginning of every file of source code.  This is explained in

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would help catch

potential omissions such as these.



If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please provide

us with an URL to an updated tarball of your project.  Upon review, we

will reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah.



Regards,
