Re: [Savannah-hackers] submission of BioDB - savannah.nongnu.org

[Michael McTails]

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

You must determine whether your project and it's dependencies 
can run on a Free Software Java suite (see http://www.gnu.org/software/java/ 
for more information).

We recommend you to test your project using GCJ and GNU Classpath, and
ensure that your Java code runs on this Free Software Java suite.

GCJ is the GNU Compiler for Java, part of the GCC (GNU Compiler
Collection).  The Classpath project aims to develop a free and portable
implementation of the Java API (the classes in the 'java' package).

More information is available at http://gcc.gnu.org/ and
http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/,

Furthermore, please include an (perhaps temporary)
URL pointing to the source code. We wish to review your source code, 
even if it is not functional, to catch potential legal issues early. 
The description you gave whenregistering 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

Please provide us with more information about this point.
