Follow-up Comment #1:
Hi,
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.
Even though your project is Free Software it can not be hosted here. We only
host projects that can run on a free operating system (such as GNU/Linux).
We have adopted this policy because now that completely free operating
systems exist, we do not want to encourage users of those systems to start
using proprietary operating systems so that they can use your program.
If you are willing to maintain a version for free operating systems, which
work as well as or better than other ports,
you can then provide versions for non-free systems as well. The idea is that
at no point should only-free users be at a disadvantage compared to users of
proprietary software.
Your project should always work equally well in free systems as in any other
version you provide; if you have some modules for non-free systems, you can
delay their release until you have released the free operating system
version.
If you accept this commitment then please state so and the project should be
approved in Savannah.
Thank you for your understanding.
Regards,
Davidlohr Bueso A.
