Re: [Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of TPL: TPL Prints Languages

[mathieu]

Hi,

About implementations: you can provide ASP or whatever implentations on 
sSavannah as long as there's one implementation that permit users to do 
something with your project on a completely free box.

About documentation licensing: "a license that protects the integrity 
of the work" is a too vague description. For some people, it can be the 
FDL. For other people, it can be a proprietary license. You have to 
make up your mind and choose a license.

Once you have cleared this licensing issue and agreed to choose a 
document free license (if you want to apply for being a GNU package, 
the FDL is surely a good choice), you can resubmit your project.

Also, we want you to create a tarbal with the code as it now exists and 
make it available to a temporary URL, or send it directly to me.

Regards,

(you can resubmit your project with ease copying the big 
re-registration link provided in the mail you get when you have 
registered)
