Hi, I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.
The license you chose qualifies your software as Free Software but it uses software that is incompatible with the GNU GPL. More exactly, mockobjects uses on gpl incompatible license. We've chosen to host only software published under licenses compatible with the GPL. This is so that people can combine files from the different projects hosted, without licensing troubles. If you're willing to switch to a GPL-compatible license, please resubmit. You can get a list of various licenses and comments about them at http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html. That should help you to understand our position.
