browser"

If they don't state a licence but only the copyright then they are
propietary.  In GNU software we don't host programs that require
propietary things.

As I alredy stated in a past message, in GNU we talk about freedom,
not price, the cost for a copy of a program is not important, but is
the issue if it respect your 4 freedoms, see the definition of free
software in gnu.org.

We call non free software as propietary.  We aim at a fully free
enviroment, so we can't accept this project since it need the
propietary weather images.

If you ever get rid of those propietary weather images, free feel to
resubmit the project, we would accept it if you find a creative
commons or FDL replace.

RealMeteo is FREE for personal and noprofit org.
Professional users have to pay a little fee (15 euro) to contribute development. So can't add it?

The wheater images are normally available on all websites. Realmeteo is only an automated browser engined from an online database with url of images,  that display these images with a  string, i.e.: "Copyright www.itmeteo.it", or other as requested from websites "Copyright eumetsat 2009"

I apologize the slow response, we have too pending projects and a
small active staff.

Free software is a matter of freedom, not price, we mean free as in
freedom, not as in free beer.

The users of free software have the freedom to use it for gain money
from the program if they want to do so, else it won't be free software
but propietary.  In GNU project we aim at a free enviroment.

We need to know the licence of the project in order to see if it is
really free software, if not, we will reject the project.

I also need to know where the weather images will come from?, Will
they be free?, Under what licence?.

Are you still willing to host your project at Savannah? If not, please tell us - we don't bite, and it will make us gain time.

Yes, RealMeteo is an automatic meteo/sat/cam browser that run actually only under ms-windows.

The license is my, so I'm inventory of this software.
The project is port it under GNU-LINUX, and make it open to install on it, free for personal and no-profit org.

I'm looking experts that can work with us to do it (porting) .
Regards

Hi,

I am waiting for an answer from you.

If within one week I still do not get a reply, I will remove your
project. You will still be able to register it again once you have the
time to deal with the registration issues.

Are you still willing to host your project at Savannah? If not, please
tell us - we don't bite, and it will make us gain time.

Regards.

Hi,

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

I suppose you read the hosting requirements, since you agreed it when
submitting (Checking the box "I agree with hosting requirements"), if
not read it: https://savannah.gnu.org/register/requirements.php.

Remember that, Linux is a kernel, the operating system is GNU,
commonly used with the kernel called Linux, that mix is called
GNU/Linux.  You should refer in that manner to the operating system in
the project if approved, else it will be deleted, we don't want to
spread the GNU/Linux-Linux name confusion, GNU is the major part of
the whole OS and we want to spread the GNU philosoplical view.

Projects hosted in Savannah should run on GNU/Linux or another
operating system, do you plan to user Savannah to develop a GNU/Linux
port of realmeteo?, What licence is realmetero under?.

Regards.
