David Rysdam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: License: gpl Other License: Package: Free Go Server System name: fgs Type: non-GNU Description: We would like to create a Free Go Server. There are three main servers out there now. One, KGS (kgs.kiseido.com), has a proprietary server and client. Another, IGS (http://www.pandanet.co.jp/English/), has a proprietary server with many Free clients. IGS also reportedly has many other freedom problems, such as users being banned for talking about verboten topics. The last, NNGS, is Free on both the (some) client(s) and server, but suffers from some problems. In particular, not many clients that claim to support it support it well and it also doesn't have some of the more advanced features that have drawn people to KGS (chatrooms, pictures, online game history, etc). Our plan is to fork the NNGS code, then build our own ideas on top of it. Because some of these ideas would break those few NNGS clients that work, submitting these as modifications to the NNGS people isn't feasible. NNGS is GPL and the code is available at http://nngs.cosmic.org/src/. All required copyright headers, COPYING files, etc are already in the code and those would be carried forward and added to new code. The entire project is intended to be Free. Other Software Required: This dependency is only required if one wishes to track user ratings/rankings. "mlrate" is also Free and is available at the same URL as the NNGS code. Other Comments: "Rudy Gevaert" reviewed a previous submission of this project but rejected it for some changes, which weren't clear to me. I hope this has been fixed. _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.nongnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Savannah-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
