2010-02-09 Thread John Sturdy

Follow-up Comment #4, task #10144 (project administration):

I've tried to upload the updated tarball, but it is over the size limit
mentioned next to the upload boxes (which is why I didn't try it but sent
individual files before).  The system does indeed appear to have rejected the
upload.  (The project itself isn't that large, but build system files such as
configure, texinfo.tex and aclocal.m4 bring the size up a lot.)  I'll make a
tarball containing just the files I actually wrote, as distinct from the
distribution tarball -- I hope that will be suitable, as the other files are
part of the GNU build tools or are generated by them.

Yes, we do want the whole project hosted here, of course!

I am as yet the sole developer and my employment contract with the University
assigns the copyright to them.  The funding body requires public release of
code unless there are other arrangements; I'm waiting to hear back from my
boss as to whether further specific clearance is needed but my understanding
is that they are not in a position to refuse, given that there is no
commercial co-sponsor.

Follow-up Comment #5, task #10144 (project administration):

I've uploaded the tarball of the project files, getting the size within the
upload limit by omitting those that are supplied by FSF or generated from
software supplied by FSF.

I've also inspected the license used in the source code of SIOD (one of the
libraries that muesli will detect and link) and it is very similar, although
not identical, to the MIT/X11 license.

The funding body's open access requirements are documented on
http://www.sfi.ie/uploads/documents/upload/SFI_OA_policy_2009_v3.pdf

I will forward confirmation from my boss ASAP.

 Description: 
Multiple Utility, Evaluation and Scripting Language Interface

A C library presenting applications with a uniform interface to several
(hopefully, many) scripting languages, so that the choice of scripting
language is a run-time choice made by the user, rather than a design-time
choice made by the application authors.  It provides a call to get a language
interface structure by name, and members of that structure evaluate strings,
load files, etc, according to common function types.  It also provides
scripting languages with consistent access to an application-provided
parameter setting function intended for compatibility with the GNU C library's
getopt.

The underlying language implementations are all non-proprietary, typically
GPL'ed.

An autoconf-generated configure script determines which languages to build
into the library.

The languages currently supported to some extent are listed in the
`Dependencies' section of this form.




 Other Software Required: 
Currently supported:
SIOD (unspecified) http://www.cs.indiana.edu/scheme-repository/imp/siod.html
Lua (MIT) http://www.lua.org/
Tcl (`BSD-style') http://www.tcl.tk/doc/
tcc (LGPL) http://bellard.org/tcc/
Perl (GPL/Artistic) http://www.perl.com/
Python (Python) http://www.python.org/
exec of any program {separate process, not API}
pipe to/from any program {separate process, not API}

and support is planned for
GUILE (LGPL) http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/
SWI Prolog (LPGL) http://www.swi-prolog.org/
Ruby (GPL) http://www.ruby-lang.org/
Octave (GPL) http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/
UCB logo (GPL) http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~bh/logo.html
JavaScript (Mozilla/GPL/LPGL) http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/
S-lang (GPL) http://www.s-lang.org/
R (GPL) http://www.r-project.org/



 Other Comments: 
I have tried to contact the author of SIOD to clarify the license but he has
never replied.  However, GUILE is apparently a descendant of SIOD and so he is
presumably amenable to it being included in GPL'ed projects, and on this basis
I have ticked the box `My dependencies are compatible with my project
license'.

There are no `media files' (if that means bitmaps etc).
