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

Hi,

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

Note that Savannah supports projects of the Free Software
movement, not projects of the Open Source movement.

We are careful about ethical issues and insist on producing software
that is not dependent on proprietary software.

While Open Source as defined by its founders means something pretty
close to Free Software, it's frequently misunderstood.  For more
information, read
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html


Also, Your project is not yet part of the GNU project, so we cannot
accept its current name.

While there are non-GNU projects with names that include 'gnu', such
as gnuplot and gnuboy, they are not hosted on Savannah.
We want to maintain the distinction between GNU and non-GNU projects.

When your project is accepted into the GNU project you may change its
name.  You can do this by asking us.


Please register your project once more with the changes
mentioned above, and preferably a more detailed description.

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

Regards,
