Hi,

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

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

Please register your project again including a URL
(could be temporary) where the source code can be found.
The description you give during project registration will be
read by Savannah administrators and not by the general Savannah
public (if you are still concerned with privacy, you can also
send me a copy of the code by e-mail).

We would like to look at your source code, even if it is still
not functional, to help you fix potential legal issues which
would be harder to find and to solve after the project gets
approved. For example, in order to release your project under
the GPL you should write copyright notices and copying
permission statements at the beginning of every source code
file, as advise in http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html

Please register your project once more with the changes mentioned
above. The way we handle pending projects makes it difficult to keep
track of projects that have been answered but have not been approved
yet, so we erase them and we ask you to register the project again every
time some change has to be done to the registration, and users might
have to register their projects several times. Thank you for your
understanding.

Some users find it useful to use the big re-registration URL provided in
the acknowledgment e-mail you received after registration.

Regards,

Rudy
