Follow-up Comment #2, task #4589 (project administration):
Hi again.
Forgotten but:
Savannah's mission is to host free software projects, and we want the public
to think of them as free software projects. A project name that says "open"
will tend to lead people to think of the project as "open source" instead of
"free software".
We would be glad if you accept to use "free" instead of "open" in your
project name.
Can you please tell me another name than "Open Source CAM Emulator"?
And 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

Regards,
