This web application,

awaiting the GPL V3 which we hope will solve the issue with web applications. 
We have been told at #gnu that we can already use the Affero GPL however, 
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl.html , to cover use of software over a 
computer network. We think it is good idea to move to Affero GPL license.

Other Comments:
RMS knows about this project. We will send he a little progress report and they 
will review our activities and tell us what, if anything, needs to be changed. 
Reference: http://www.gnuherds.org/Timeline.php

We have been allowed to use the GNU word as part of the GNU Herds project name. 
However, by the moment, I am going to try to register this web application as 
non-gnu. If it is required, it could be moved to GNU later.

Note that the web application is hosted in our own server Hopefully, the 1.0 
version of this web application will be hosted at some of the FSF servers, 
using its HTTP and PostgreSQL/MySQL services. It has not been discussed yet 
with the FSF.

The motivation to migrate the CVS service to Savannah is to get the advantages 
of its development and management tools and the community of more than 28,000 
registered Free Software contributors. We are looking for ways to go on with 
this project.
