Update of task #6548 (project administration): Status: None => Need Info Assigned to: None => stevenr
_______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #1: Hi, I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah. While doing so I have noticed a few problems which are described below. 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. Secondly, "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 http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html. Thirdly, Please include a (perhaps temporary) URL pointing to the source code. Alternatively, you can forward the code to me by email or attach it to this tracker. We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to catch potential legal issues early. For example, to release your program properly under the GNU GPL you must include a copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every copyrightable file, usually any file more than 10 lines long. This is explained in http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html. Our review would help catch potential omissions such as these. Note that sending code to our repositories _is_ a release, since the code will then be publicly available through anonymous access. If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please provide us with an URL to an updated tarball of your project. Upon review, we will reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah. To help us better keep track of your registration, please use the tracker's web interface following the link below. Do not reply directly, the registration process is not driven by e-mail, and we will not receive such replies. Regards. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?6548> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
