We have received a request to evaluate your software to be included in
the GNU Project.

Thank you very much for your offer.

We will complete this evaluation as soon as possible, but the team of
evaluators is made out of volunteers, so sometimes this could mean
weeks.

During the course of the evaluation you might be contacted by one or
more software evaluators asking you different kind of questions, or
maybe even making suggestions.

The last word about your softwares becoming part of the GNU Project or
not is from Richard M. Stallman himself, we just help him clear
technical and licensing issues.

Please send an URL to get the source code, and licensing terms.
