Hi,

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

Your project description only partially matches Savannah services.
Savannah only hosts Free Software and Free documentation projects that
run on free operating systems (we also host Free textbooks)

Your code to browse your collection of data is releasable under
e.g. the GPL v2 or later.  However your data isn't documenation or a
textbook so we can not host it on Savannah.

Please register your project, if you want to, again and include an
(temporary) URL pointing to the source code.  The description you gave
when registering will not be read by the general public. If you are
still concerned with privacy, however, you can forward the code to me
by email.

We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to
catch potential legal issues early.  

For example, to release your program properly under the GPL you must
include a copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements at the 
beginning of every file of source code.  This is explained in
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would help
catch potential omissions such as these.

However, you could ask RMS ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) to make an exception for you
to use Savannah to host the data.  I think he would be willing to make
an exception.
