May 17th 2010 in GNU Savannah task #10380: "Submission of
gnuprologjava".

Hi all.

>Let's not compound the mistake by denying a GNU project access to
>savannah, please.


For what I understand of
https://savannah.gnu.org/register/requirements.php all projects wich
want to be hosted in Savannah must comply with those requirements:
both the GNU and the non-GNU projects.

>This is not right. Although admittedly it was a mistake,
>gnuprologjava was accepted as an official GNU project many years

>by trying to move development off sourceforge and onto savannah, and
>eliminate the JDK dependency -- or perhaps he has already done
>so. (Have you, Pavan?)


Karl: I'ts fine if gnuprologjava runs on a fully free.  I wouldn't
have rejected the project if this information were included in the
submission form, but it didn't; instead Pavan wrote "It was initially
developed using JDk 1.2" but nothing about another, free
implementation (I.e: "But now it's developed on IcedTea").  Based on
this project description, I rejected the submission because the Sun
JDK 1.2 isn't fully free (Nor are the current versions AFIK).  I
appreciate your opinion as a longstanding free software volunteer;
please tellme what do you think I should do when the description says
it run on a propietary platform but not on a free one.

Pavan: If you develop and test gnuprologjava in a free software Java
implementation and it don't requires propietary software free feel to
resubmit the project, but this time please don't forget to say what
free implementations can run it ;-).

Mario,

This is not right.  Although admittedly it was a mistake, gnuprologjava was accepted as an official GNU project many years ago.   Pavan, the new maintainer, is now doing the right thing for GNU by trying to move development off sourceforge and onto savannah, and eliminate the JDK dependency -- or perhaps he has already done so.  (Have you, Pavan?)

Let's not compound the mistake by denying a GNU project access to savannah, please.

Best,
Karl

April 15th 2010 in GNU Savannah task #10380: Submission of
gnuprologjava

Your project requires proprietary software (Sun JDK) and cannot be
hosted on Savannah for this reason.

Savannah is willing to provide resources and time to developers
writing Free Software that can be used without the need to ask
permission from a proprietary software vendor.

If, someday, you get free of those dependencies (see
http://www.gnu.org/software/java for more information), do not
hesitate to resubmit your project.

Thank you for your understanding.
