Follow-up Comment #1:

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


At first, your project requires proprietary software (Visual Basic) and
cannot be hosted on Savannah for this reason.

Savannah is willing to provide resources and time to developers writing Free
Software that can be used without the need to ask permission from proprietary
software vendor.



At second, 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.


Thank you for your understanding and please commit on the statements above.




Last but not least, please include a (perhaps temporary) URL pointing to the
source code (that can run on a free operating system).
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.


If you don't have got a tarball which doesn't depends on non-free software,
we would like to cancel your registration here. And you will be still allowed
to re-register when you have got a free software package.

Regards,
