[Savannah-hackers] Re: submission of Lemur OLAP Open Source Library - savannah.nongnu.org

Hi,

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

Savannah's mission is to host free software projects, and
we want the public to think of them as free software projects.  A
project name that says "open" will tend to lead people to think of
the project as "open source" instead of "free software".
 We
would be glad if you accept to use "free" instead of "open" in
your project name.

"Free" can be confusing too, something with "libre" can be even
better.

Note that "Linux" is just a kernel of a more complex system
that we like to refer to as GNU/Linux, to emphasize
the ideals of the Free Software movement.

Before releasing your project under the GPL, please place
copyright notices and permission to copy statements at the beginning
of every file of source code.  

In addition, if you haven't already, please copy a copy of the plain
text version of the GPL, available from
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt), into a file named "COPYING".

Additional instructions are available from
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.

The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed.  To learn
why a copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code,
for example, go to
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude




Please register your project once more with the changes
mentioned above.  

We cannot track projects that have been answered but not approved, so
we must ask you to register the project whenever you change the
registration. Make sure to apply all changes so you need to reregister
only once.

The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgement of your earlier
registration will direct you to the proper location.

Regards,
