management system".

Hello.

I'm closing timeouted projects.

As didn't get response from you in the required time I delete the
submission.  You can re-register this, or another project when you
have time to deal with the full registration process.

Regards.

Hi,

I am waiting for an answer from you.

If within two weeks 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 Yellow,

I am reviewing your submission on behalf of Savannah, please excuse the delay. Now there are a few issues with it:

  • A lot of the provided files (gateway.py, README) do not have the required license header. This GPL howto explains how to put the project under the GPL.
  • Likewise, a lot of distributed images do not have copyright information. It is best to list all images, their author and the license they are under in a README file or similar.
  • Some other projects are included in your distributed version, but there is no license information attached. It is better to include information about these packages and the license they are distributed under in the README.
  • Savannah is sponsored by the GNU project, which does not speak about "open source" but about "Free software". You can read why at the Hosting requirements.
  • Finally, the most important point: it is against the GNU philosophy to offer a dumbed-down version of your software under the GPL, and then sell a proprietary version under a more restrictive license. This puts Free software at a disadvantage and makes users think that proprietary software is somehow better. This is however what ZaK does according to this page. I would have to consult the legal mailing list before approving the project as is. It is however perfectly valid to sell a service (such as your hosting services) and allow users to download the same version. This is essentially what some heavyweights as Red Hat or Alfresco do, and they have based huge businesses on this practice. You can even use the Affero GPL to encourage distribution of improvements. Have you considered releasing the full version under the GPL?


Please submit a new tarball (you can attach it to this task) once these issues are solved. Thanks!
