Hi,

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

Your project requires proprietary software and cannot be
hosted on Savannah for this reason.

Four of the required packages have licenses incompatible with the GPL.
Swing (Sun Public License)
Ant (Apache Software License, version 2.0)
JUnit (Common Public License)
javacvs-library (Sun Public License)

Savannah is willing to provide resources and time to developers
writing Free Software that can be used without the need to ask
permission from a proprietary software vendor.

If, someday, you get free of those dependencies (see
http://www.gnu.org/software/java for more information), do not
hesitate to resubmit your project.

Thank you for your understanding.

Regards,
