[Savannah-hackers] Re: submission of Geek Awnuts - savannah.nongnu.org

[Mathieu Roy]

Hi,

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

Your license does not qualify as a free software license. Mostly
because of the restriction on the commercial distribution, but the
whole license seems clumsy.

So we cannot host your project.

Regards,
