Re: [Savannah-hackers] submission of Lightfoot Networks - savannah.nongnu.org

[Jaime E . Villate]

Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

Java is a very sensitive issue here, because there are currently no free
alternatives for Swing, which makes a lot of Java programs depend on
proprietary software, not being possible to host them in Savannah.

It is probably not the case of your project, but we have to make sure, so we
ask you to please register your project again stating that it will run
in a completely free Java implementation (see
http://www.gnu.org/software/java/)

Thanks for your understanding.

Cheers,
Jaime
