Follow-up Comment #2:

Hi Dmitrey,
  
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah. While
doing so I have noticed a few problems which are described below.


First of all, please note that Savannah supports projects of the Free
Software movement, not projects of the Open Source movement.

We are careful about ethical issues and insist on producing software that is
not dependent on proprietary software.

While Open Source as defined by its founders means something pretty close to
Free Software, it's frequently misunderstood.  For more information, please
see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html.


Secondly, Savannah's mission is to host free software projects, and we want
the public to think of them as free software projects.  A project name that
says "open" will tend to lead people to think of the project as "open source"
instead of "free software".

We would be glad if you accept to use "free" instead of "open" in your
project name.


Thirdly, 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 primarily on Savannah.

How do you plan to use your Savannah account?
