Hi,

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

Can you give me a pointer to this license. I see a "non-commercial" in
this license name which is an issue in itself. 

Note that commercial does not mean proprietary. 
Free Software means that users have certain freedoms; it does
not mean zero price.  "Commercial" means "associated with
business"; a commercial program may be free or non-free,
depending on its license.  So it is a mistake to treat
"free" and "commercial" as contraries.  When a business
develops free software, that is free commercial software.

By reading your description, I do not think your project fits to 
this description, so I do not think we can host it:

     Free Educational Textbook Projects
        Projects aimed to create educational textbooks, released under
        a Free Documentation License. 


You are free to register your project once more with the changes mentioned
above.  The way we handle pending projects makes it difficult to keep
track of projects that have been answered but have not been approved
yet, so we erase them and we ask you to register the project again every
time some change has to be done to the registration, and users might
have to register their projects several times.  Thank you for your
understanding.

Some users find it useful to use the big re-registration URL provided in
the acknowledgment e-mail you received after registration.

Regards,
