Follow-up Comment #2:

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.


Your projects meets the Savannah requirements, except that we cannot review
your source code yet.

We can approve it, and review the code in the near future (or better, at your
request). We will among other check if the source files contain appropriate
copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every
file of source code. Our review would help catch potential legal issues
early. 

If then the source code does not meet our requirements (for example, non-free
dependencies), we will then discuss the issue and possibly remove the project
from Savannah.

Is this ok for you?
