Hi,
On your project main page, we can read
"Our mission: To create robust and completely open-source
Linux OSS & ALSA drivers for soundcards using the Aureal
Vortex line of audio processors. We're also maintaining the
existing driver until ours is ready for public consumption "
"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.
Would you mind changing occurences of Linux as OS
to GNU/Linux?
You can get more information at
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html
Note that Savannah supports projects of the Free Software
movement, not projects of the Open Source movement.
We are careful about ethical issues and insist on
producing software that is not dependent on proprietary
software.
While Open Source as defined by it's founders means
Free Software, it's frequently misunderstood.
For more information, read
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html
So, we would be glad if you replace open-source by free software (for
instance, you can say "free software (sometimes referred to as open
source software").
Regards,
--
