[Savannah-hackers] Re: submission of Snort Intrusion Detection System - savannah.nongnu.org

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
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html

Note also that "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 (website, documentation...)?

It unclear to me if you want to use Savannah fully (including
mailing-list, bug tracker, support manager) or if you're only looking
for a CVS mirror. Can you give details?
