Hi,

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

Savannah's mission is to host free software projects, and
we want the public to think of them as free software projects.  A
project name that says "open" will tend to lead people to think of
the project as "open source" instead of "free software".
 We
would be glad if you accept to use "free" instead of "open" in
your project name.

Ok.




Please register your project once more with the changes
mentioned above.  

We cannot track projects that have been answered but not approved, so
we must ask you to register the project whenever you change the
registration. Make sure to apply all changes so you need to reregister
only once.

The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgement of your earlier
registration will direct you to the proper location.

Regards,
