Follow-up Comment #1:

Hi,

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


You must determine whether your project can run on a Free Software Java suite
(see http://www.gnu.org/software/java/ for more information).

We recommend you to test your project using GCJ and GNU Classpath, and ensure
that your Java code runs on this Free Software Java suite.

GCJ is the GNU Compiler for Java, part of the GCC (GNU Compiler Collection). 
The Classpath project aims to develop a free and portable implementation of
the Java API (the classes in the 'java' package).

More information is available at http://gcc.gnu.org/ and
http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/ .

Please provide us with more information about this point.


Your software uses several incompatible licenses: the GNU GPL, the CPL and
the ASL. I would also need a URL to easyconf.jar and
common-configurations.jar, as I can't find them on the internet and check
their license as well.

This means that you cannot legally distribute your application.

The GNU GPL is incompatible with the CPL and the ASL. I do not know if the
CPL and the ASL are compatible (if you have a pointer for this, I am
interested).

To solve this issue, you need to either:
- use other, GNU GPL-compatible libraries
- use licenses exceptions if that's possible (check
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLIncompatibleLibs for example)
- use another license than the GNU GPL (it needs to be compatible with the
GNU GPL to be hosted at Savannah though, or you can dual license to match
both Savannah and licenses requirements).


Last, please include a (perhaps temporary) URL pointing to the source code. 
The description you gave when registering will not be read by the general
public.  If you are still concerned with privacy, however, you can forward
the code to me by email.

We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to catch
potential legal issues early.

For example, to release your program properly under the GPL you must include
a copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of
every file of source code.  This is explained in
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would help catch
potential omissions such as these.

Regards.
