Follow-up Comment #1:

Hi,

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


Firstly, you cannot use the GNU GPL v3 for your project as it does not exist.
 The FSF is currently drafting version 3 of the GNU GPL, but it has not been
finalised, so we cannot accept it for software currently. 

It is also not clear what you mean by "dual licensing".  What is the second
license you are using?  Please provide us with more information on this. 


Secondly, 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.


Thirdly, please include a (perhaps temporary) URL pointing to the source
code. Alternatively, you can forward the code to me by email or attach it to
this tracker.

We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to catch
potential legal issues early.

For example, to release your program properly under the GNU GPL you must
include a copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning
of every  copyrightable file, usually any file more than 10 lines long.  This
is explained in http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would
help catch potential omissions such as these.

Note that sending code to our repositories _is_ a release, since the code
will then be publicly available through anonymous access.


Finally, you must determine whether your project 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/ .

Please provide us with more information about this point.


Please register your project once more with the changes mentioned above.

Make sure to apply all changes requested, so you will only need to
re-register once.

The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgment of your earlier
registration will direct you to the proper location where you can re-register
your project.

Regards.
