Follow-up Comment #2, task #10340 (project administration): Hi Pasko,
Mario has pointed out a few issues remaining with the project. I know you have done a great deal of work towards compliance, so let me add a few remarks. First, a small oversight: you still have not changed the README file to remove "open-source", and you should not use that on the project description. With the ojdbc library you can remove it altogether since it's an optional dependency; it makes your whole project unusable for many people. See how the license, apart from what Mario states, requires to agree to this: You will not use the Programs for, and will not allow the Programs to be used for, any purposes prohibited by United States law, including, without limitation, for the development, design, manufacture or production of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons of mass destruction. It is a harsh requirement to not do anything prohibited by US law if you don't even live there; who knows what crazy things may be prohibited now or in the future? I am sure that Maven can be made to download ojdbc from a given URL, if needed; but it would be better to remove the dependency altogether and replace it with some free library. Even better would be to not depend on Oracle at all, but use a free database such as PostgreSQL or MySQL. At least (and this is a requirement) you have to make sure that your project works with a free database, and optionally with the proprietary ones. Finally, there is one point <https://savannah.gnu.org/task/index.php?10294#comment3> which you have not addressed: you also have to make sure that builtu builds and runs with a free JDK, such as OpenJDK <http://openjdk.java.net/>. Please note that the hosting requirements are there because we believe in certain freedoms and we believe that they are not negotiable -- it is not OK to give them up to gain some convenience. I would like your project to be resubmitted and accepted because I would personally have found it useful, but it needs some further work. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?10340> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
