Update of task #7612 (project admin):
Approval Status: None => Discarded
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #1:
The license you chose qualifies your software as free software
but *it is incompatible with the GNU GPL*.
We host only software published under licenses compatible with
the GPL, which allows developers to combine files from any
project without fear of a licensing problem.
If you are willing to switch to a GPL-compatible license, please
resubmit the project.
You can get a list of various licenses and comments about them
at <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html>.
If you still wish to use your current license, we will be happy
to discuss it with you.
Thank you for your understanding.
Regards,
Even though your project is Free Software it can not be hosted
here. *We only host projects that can run on a free operating
system* (such as Debian GNU/Linux).
We have adopted this policy because now that completely free
operating systems exist, we do not want to encourage users of
those systems to start using proprietary operating systems so
that they can use your program.
If you are willing to maintain a version for free operating
systems, which work as well as or better than other ports, you
can then provide versions for nonfree systems as well. The idea
is that at no point should only-free users be at a disadvantage
compared to users of proprietary software.
Your project should always work equally well in free systems as
in any other version you provide; if you have some modules for
nonfree systems, you can delay their release until you have
released the free operating system version.
If you accept this commitment then please register your project
again and it should be approved in Gna!.
Thank you for your understanding.
Regards,
