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, please see
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html.

It looks like VSTa comes with its suite of programs. Are you planning
to host the whole project at Savannah or just the microkernel? Also,
you will have to close the sourceforge website if you are to host your
project at Savannah.
