Follow-up Comment #1:

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


At first, please note that Savannah supports projects of the Free Software
movement, not projects of the Open Source movement.

We are careful about ethical issues and insist on producing software that is
not dependent on proprietary software.

While Open Source as defined by its founders means something pretty close to
Free Software, it's frequently
misunderstood.
For more information, please see
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html.



At second, do you wish to host /all/ of the software on Savannah? Or do you
**include** some of those project files into your project? Or do you **link**
against them?

For example, "Apache Tomcat" was released under the terms of the "Apache
License, Version 2.0", which is **incompatible** with the GNU GPL. So you are
not allowed to **host** these files on SV, **link** against them or
**include** them into your own project.


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

We recommend you to test your project using GCJ and GNU Classpath, and
ensure
that your Java code runs on this Free Software Java suite.

GCJ is the GNU Compiler for Java, part of the GCC (GNU Compiler Collection).
The Classpath project aims to develop a free and portable implementation of
the Java API
(the classes in the 'java' package).

More information is available at http://gcc.gnu.org/ and
http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/ .

Please provide us with more information about this point.


At fourth, as mentioned in the registration pages, we do not host complete
distros,
distros isos, packages repositories, etc, for space and bandwidth reasons.
We may just offer support for organisational purpose and in-house developed
software (such as iso creation scripts).

This can affact you, because of the _many_ different projects you would like
to include in your own project.



Please clarify all questiones and then I will have a further look at your
source code.

Regards,
