Hi,

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

"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.


Would you mind changing references to Linux as an OS
to GNU/Linux?

For more information, see

I have some troubles to understand how it differs from the existing
searching tools.

Please resubmit your project with a detailed technical
description that specifies such requirements as programming languages
and external libraries.  It should not exceed one-half a page.

1) I found .dll and .exe files, where is the source code for these
   files. How run these files under GNU/Linux?

2) In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under
   the GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy
   statements at the beginning of every file of source code. 
        
   In addition, if you haven't already, please copy a copy of the
   plain text version of the GPL, available from
   (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt), into a file named
   "COPYING". 
 
   Additional instructions are available from
   http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.

   The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed.  To learn
   why a copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code,
   for example, go to
   http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude


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,
