Hi,

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

Seems like your project suggests the use of bamg, grummp, etc. These
software cannot be used for commercial purposes. Hence, they are
non-free. 

Your project requires proprietary software and cannot be hosted on
Savannah for this reason.

Savannah is willing to provide resources and time to developers writing
Free Software that can be used without the need to ask permission from
proprietary software vendor.

If, someday, you get free of those dependencies (see
http://www.gnu.org/software/java for more information), do not hesitate
to resubmit your project.

Thank you for your understanding.

Regards,
