Follow-up Comment #1:
Hi,
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.
Then 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.
Can you please clarify this point?
At last please include a (perhaps temporary) URL pointing to the source
code.
The description you gave when registering will not be read by the general
public.
If you are still concerned with privacy, however, you can forward the code to
me by email.
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.
Regards,
