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 write a version for the free
systems, too.
Would you agree with our points?
Furthermore, we would like to review your source code, if you haven't got
one, we would prefer to cancel your submission here and you feel free to
re-register when you have got any source code to show us (which runs on free
operating systems as well).
Would you accept this procedure?
Regards,
