[Savannah-register-public] [task #4064] Submission of Graouwin

[Sylvain Beucler]

Follow-up Comment #1, task #4064 (project administration):

Hi,

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

In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the GPL,
please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements at the
beginning of every non-trivial file of source code - for our purpose any file
longer than 10 lines.

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.

The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed.  To learn why a
copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code, for example,
see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude.


jslibtest.xul is released under the MPL, a license incompatible with the GNU
GPL. We do not host such files - unless there are dual licensed with the GNU
GPL. Please relicense this file or remove it from your package.


Also note that we only host projects that can run on a free operating system
(such as GNU/Linux). We have adopted this policy because now that completely
free operating systems exist, we do not want to encourage users of those
systems to start using proprietary operating systems so that they can use
your program.

If you are willing to maintain a version for free operating systems, which
work as well as or better than other ports, you can then provide versions for
non-free systems as well. The idea is that at no point should only-free users
be at a disadvantage compared to users of proprietary software.

Your project should always work equally well in free systems as in any other
version you provide; if you have some modules for non-free systems, you can
delay their release until you have released the free operating system
version.

Your project is currently aimed at runnning only under MS Windows, and the
documentation only refers to this system. This is not acceptable for a
Savannah project.

If you accept this commitment then please say so.
Also please provide us with an updated version of your source code.


Incidentally we recommand not to use 'LUG', as 'L' refers to 'Linux' rather
than 'GNU/Linux'. For more information, check
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-user-groups.html

Regards.
