Hi,

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

Your project is not part of the GNU project, so we cannot
accept its current type.   We want to maintain the distinction between
'GNU' and 'non-GNU' projects. If your project is approved for inclusion
into Savannah, we will set its type to 'non-GNU'.

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

Again, you can not say that your project is GNU as long
as it is not accepted into the GNU project. Instead, you're encouraged
to say that VoXpopuli is a french forum engine, released under the GPL.

Please reply and include an (temporary) URL pointing to the source
code. The description you gave when registering will not be read
by the general public. If you are still concerned with privacy,
however, you can forward the code to me by email (address@hidden).

We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to
catch potential legal issues early. 

For example, to release your program properly under the GPL you must
include a copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements at the
beginning of every file of source code.  This is explained in
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would help
catch potential omissions such as these.
