Re: [Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of OpenOffice.org Slovak edition

[Loic Dachary]

        Hi,

        The SISSL is incompatible with the GNU GPL. For this reason it
cannot be hosted on Savannah. All programs hosted on Savannah have mutually
compatible licenses that allow them to interact without legal problems.

        
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html
The Sun Industry Standards Source License 1.0

This is a free software license, not a strong copyleft, which is
incompatible with the GNU GPL because of details rather than any major
policy.
