Follow-up Comment #1:

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

We need a detailed technical description that specifies such requirements as
*programming languages* and external libraries.
It should be at least one-half a page.


And please 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.


Then we would like to name the operating system GNU/Linux instead of "GNU
Linux". See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html#whyslash for the
reasons.



And at last, 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?

Regards,
