Hi,
Let's sum up our IRC conversations:
- the project is in the processed of being dubbed GNU, which would
solve the name issue
- you agree to use a free Java platform
- you do not have source code yet
I have approved your project as non-GNU for now. You will receive an
automated e-mail containing detailed information about the approval.
Regards,
