Your project is not yet part of the GNU project, so we cannot accept its
current name.

While there are non-GNU programs with names that include 'gnu', such as
gnuplot and gnuboy, they are not hosted on Savannah.  We want to maintain
the distinction between GNU and non-GNU projects.

When your project is accepted into the GNU project you may change its
name.  You can do this by asking us.

Can you give me an alternate name to use until you request inclusion in
the GNU project?

Some (or all) of the source files contain permission to copy statements for
the GPL, but the license you chose during registration is LGPL.  Can you
please correct this?

You must determine whether your project can run on a Free Software Java
suite (see http://www.gnu.org/software/java/ for more information).  

Please provide us more information about this point.

Also, the GNU Classpath project are happy to help people investigate
switching to a Free Java platform (if necessary).  If you have any
questions, you can address them to: address@hidden
