Re: [Savannah-hackers] submission of NKML Nursing Knowledge Markup Language - savannah.nongnu.org

[Sylvain Beucler]

Hi,

Since you promise to make your future Java programs work with a free
java suite, your project should be ok for approval.

Releasing the DTD and the XSLTs under the GNU GPL is fine. However,
you have to be sure you can release them under this license (or any
other GPL-compatible license) before to upload them at Savannah.
Maybe you should get a copyright disclaimer from your employer, as
described at http://gnu.april.org/licenses/gpl.html#SEC4

Also, the URL you pointed me to is not working. Please give me a URL
pointing to the source code for the reasons I previously stated.

Regards,
