Follow-up Comment #1:

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


First, please write GNU/Linux instead of "GNU Linux" - see
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html#whyslash



Second, Licensing under the "GNU GPL v2 only" is problematic.
Please agree to license your project under the "GNU GPL v2 or later".

The reason for this is that when we publish GPL v3,
it will be important for all GPL-covered programs to advance to GPL v3.
If you don't put this in the files now, the only way to port your program to
GPL v3 would be to ask each
and every copyright holder, and that may be very difficult.

We can explain the issue in more detail if you wish.
If you have concerns about "GNU GPL v2 or later", we'd be happy to address
them too.



Third, as mentioned in the registration pages, we do not host complete
distros, distros isos, packages repositories, etc, for space and bandwidth
reasons.
We may just offer support for organisational purpose and in-house developed
software (such as iso creation scripts).



But anyway you had to resubmit your project in English. English is the only
language that the whole Savannah team understand and is needed for
transparency and archival. 

Please clarify the points mentioned above while reregistering.


Regards,
