[Savannah-hackers] Project eligibility for Savannah

[Christoph Reichenbach]

Hi,

I'm the maintainer of FreeSCI (http://freesci.linuxgames.com), a free
re-implementation of the proprietary SCI engine developed by Sierra On-Line Inc.
Since we've been having trouble with our current mailing list, I'd like to set
up an account at Savannah; however, I'm not certain if FreeSCI meets the
requirements
for this, particularly the part about not depending on non-free software.

Right now, all well-known SCI programs are proprietary; while there has been
some effort creating fan-made ones, these tend to re-use parts of proprietary
programs, though (graphics, music etc.) and thus are of questionable legality.

Thus, right now FreeSCI technically (but not conceptually) depends on
proprietary programs to do anything "useful".

Do you consider this program appropriate for Savannah?

Thanks,

-- Christoph
