Follow-up Comment #1:

Hi,

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


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?


Additionally, both xpdf-chinese-simplified and cmap-adobe-gb1 are not
free (they require CMap files released under a non-free license)
. Requiring these for your software to function means that your
program cannot be run on a wholly free system, and thus cannot be
hosted on Savannah for that reason.

Please provide us with more information on this.


Also, please remove GIF image files from your project and replace them
with an other format (such as PNG or JPEG).

Because of the patents (Unisys and IBM) covering the LZW compression
algorithm which are used when making GIF files, it's impossible to
have free software to generate proper GIFs.  These patents also apply
to the compress program.

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gif.html.


Finally, in order to release your project properly and unambiguously
under the LGPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy
statements at the beginning of every copyrightable file, usually any
file more than 10 lines long.

In addition, if you haven't already, please include a copy of the
plain text version of the GNU LGPL, available from
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.txt, into a file named "COPYING".

If some of your files cannot carry such notices (e.g. binary files),
then you can add a README file in the same directory containing the
copyright and license notices. Check
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html for
further information.

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html#SEC4.


If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please provide
us with an URL to an updated tarball of your project.  Upon review, we
will reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah. Please
remember to address all the points.

To help us better keep track of your registration, please use the
tracker's web interface following the link below. Do not reply
directly, the registration process is not driven by e-mail, and we
will not receive such replies.

Regards.
