[Savannah-cvs] [What Does It Mean To Become A GNU Package] (edit)

[clarkema]

??changed:
-<p>
-Calling a program GNU software means that its developers and the GNU project
-agree that "This program is part of the GNU project, released under the aegis
-of GNU"--and say so in the program.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-This means that we normally put the program on ftp.gnu.org (although we could
-instead refer to the developer's choice of ftp site) and that we put the
-official pages describing the program on the GNU web server. (It is ok to have
-more informal pages about secondary issues, such as discussion meant for people
-who want to help develop the package, on some other site.)
-</p>
-
-<p>
-It means that the developers agree to pay some attention to making the program
-work well with the rest of the GNU system--and conversely that the GNU project
-will encourage other GNU maintainers to pay some attention to making their
-programs fit in well with it.
