Follow-up Comment #1:

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


At first, Savannah is a central point for development, distribution and
maintenance of GNU Software.

There is a companion site savannah.nongnu.org where we also host Free
Software projects that are not part of the GNU Project, but run on free
platforms.

However, we do not allow to host your project on Savannah and
SourceForge at the same time, if Savannah is just a project mirror.
Your project development should happen primary on Savannah.

How do you plan to use your Savannah account?


At second, you mentioned "Active X" as a requirement for your software.

So your project requires proprietary software and cannot be hosted on
Savannah for this reason.

Savannah is willing to provide resources and time to developers writing Free
Software that can be used without the need to ask permission from proprietary
software vendor.

If, someday, you get free of those dependencies, feel free to resubmit your
project.

Thank you for your understanding.


Furthermore, even though your project is Free Software it can not be hosted
here.
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.

If you accept this commitment then please register your project again and it
should be approved in Savannah.

Thank you for your understanding.


Regards,

    _______________________________________________________
