Follow-up Comment #1:

Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah. I've
noticed a few problems in your submission and these problems are described
below.


First of all, your project is not yet part of the GNU project, so we cannot
accept its current name.

While there are non-GNU programs with names that include 'gnu', such as
gnuplot and gnuboy, they are not hosted on Savannah.
 We want to maintain the distinction between GNU and non-GNU projects.

When your project is accepted into the GNU project you may change its name.
You can do this by asking us.


Second thing I noticed is that your submission is missing a link to a project
tarball. 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.


And the last thing I'd like to mention for now is that "Linux" is just a
kernel of a more complex system that we like to refer to as GNU/Linux, to
emphasize the ideals of the Free Software movement.

We would really like you to refer to this operating system as GNU/Linux.

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html.


If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please provide us
with an URL to an updated tarball of your project.  Upon review, we will
reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah.

To help us better keep track of your registration, please use the tracker's
web interface following the link below. Do not reply directly, the
registration process is not driven by e-mail, and we will not receive such
replies.

Regards.
