The approval of your project in Savannah was made on the basis of the
description you sent, independently of the fact that you expressed some
interest that it became part of the GNU project too.  Please go ahead and
start working on your project, using the GPL as you proposed, or any other GPL
compatible licenses.

As the project develops, if you ever want it to become a part of GNU, you can
apply for it. Please consult http://www.gnu.org/evaluation/ and keep in mind
that a project does not have to be completely developed to be accepted as a
GNU project. If you propose an idea for a new project that is of interest to
the GNU project and you show enough commitment and knowledge of the GNU
methodology, I believe you can get your project approved from a very early
stage.

Could you please send a message to address@hidden telling them you do no
longer want them to evaluate your project to become a GNU package?
