Hi,
Your project has been approved as a non-GNU project. I don't think it
qualifies to become part of the GNU project, since the kernel adopted by the
GNU project is not Linux but Hurd. To be a part of the GNU project, your
program should create disks to boot the Hurd kernel.
I'm not part of the GNU project approval team, so if you want a second
opinion you should ask address@hidden
