Can your software run completely without proprietary softwares?
Is your project a particular library or a collection of softwares? (We
do not host collections of software such as distributions).
Note also taht "Linux" is just a kernel of a more complex system
that we like to refer to as GNU/Linux, to emphasize
the ideals of the Free Software movement.
You can get more informations at
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html
Could you resubmit with statements about it?
You can resubmit your project with ease by copying
the big re-registration URL provided in the mail
you receive at submission
