Hi, I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] said: > A package was submitted to savannah.nongnu.org > This mail was sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Jean Schurger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: > License: other > Other License: GNU General Public License V2 _NOT_ later Licensing under the "GNU GPL v2 only" is problematic. Would you agree to license under the "GNU GPL v2 or later"? The main motive is that in ten years from now the copyright holder may not be reachable while the legal system has changed and calls for a new version of the GNU GPL v2. When that happens, licensing under the "GNU GPL v2 only" blocks the software: it is impossible to upgrade to the new license. If you want to, we can explain you in more detail why Savannah only hosts "GNU GPL v2 or later" software. If you have concerns about "GNU GPL v2 or later", We'd be happy to address them too. > Package: yshark System name: yshark Type: non-GNU > > Description: > Hosting of differents projects i have : > - [EMAIL PROTECTED] : a yank (todo manager) plugin for ximian Evolution > - barque : a web browser > - some themes for gnome that i write > - some unclassable patches (eg: console throug kgdb serial protocol),... > - Others projects We only host project identified by a clear purpose, not assembly. For instance, we would accept a project that would be an assembly of Ximian Evolution plugins. For GNOME themes, you should try http://art.gnome.org If you can clarify your goals and come to a coherent(s) project(s) (the factor of cohesion shouldn't be the author), you are welcome to resubmit your it on Savannah.
