Follow-up Comment #1:

Hi,

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

The license for Eric Bell's code qualifies your software as free software but
it is incompatible with the GNU GPL (it is equivelent to the 'old BSD' style
license)

We only host software published under licenses compatible with the GPL, which
allows developers to combine files from any project without fear of a
licensing problem.

If you are willing to switch to a GPL-compatible license, please resubmit the
project.

You can get a list of various licenses and comments about them at
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html.

If you still wish to use your current license, we will be happy to discuss it
with you.

In addition, I wasn't able to find the source on that webpage

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.

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,
Savannah Administration
