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

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, read http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html To release your project under the GPL, you should put copyright notices and copying permission statements at the beginning of every source-code file, and include a copy of the plain text version of the GPL (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt). Put it in a file named COPYING. Please follow the advice of http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html. The GPL FAQ explain the reason behind these recommendations. For example, there is an entry explaining why the GPL requires including a copy of the GPL with every copy of the program: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude Please remove GIF images files from your project and replaced them by other format (such as PNG or JPEG). Because of the patents (Unisys and IBM) covering the LZW compression algorithm which is used in making GIF files, it's impossible to have free software to generate proper GIFs. They also apply to the compress program. For more information read http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gif.html Please register your project once more with the changes mentioned above. The way we handle pending projects makes it difficult to keep track of projects that have been answered but have not been approved yet, so we erase them and we ask you to register the project again every time some change has to be done to the registration, and users might have to register their projects several times. Thank you for your understanding. Some users find it useful to use the big re-registration URL provided in the acknowledgment e-mail you received after registration.
