Re: [Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of ezTrack

[Loic Dachary]

        Hi,

        There may be a licensing issue since you start from a software you
developped for your employer. Unless you've done something specific, the
copyright holder is your employer and she decides the license under which
the software is released. Could you please submit the project again clarifying
this point ? 

        Also note that refering to proprietary software as
"commercial" software is inaccurate. Free Software allows people to 
run a business and it therefore also "commercial". I think it's better
to say "proprietary software" to avoid this ambiguity.

        Thanks in advance,
