Hi,

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


Firstly, you dual licensing question:

You are able to license your code in any way that you choose (assuming that
you _are_ the copyright holder).  

However, you must not offer code under a proprietary license at Savannah.  

We only accept Free software at Savannah.  Non-Free software is unethical,
and against the goals of the Free software movement and the GNU project.  For
more infomation about the FSF and GNU, please see
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-free.html. If you have any questions on
this, then we will be happy to answer them.  

If you agree to not offer/publish/link to/upload code under a proprietary
license at Savannah, then we are able to proceed with the registration.  You
would have to provide other hosting for your proprietary licensed code. 
Please let us know if you agree to this. 


Secondly, you can forward the code to me by email (steven AT gnu DOT org). 

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 GNU GPL you must
include a copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning
of every  copyrightable file, usually any file more than 10 lines long.  This
is explained in http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would
help catch potential omissions such as these.

Note that sending code to our repositories _is_ a release, since the code
will then be publicly available through anonymous access.


To help us better keep track of your registration, please use the tracker's
web interface following the link below. Do not reply directly, the
registration process is not driven by e-mail, and we will not receive such
replies.

Regards.
