Hi Kevin,

I think your willingness to work through the issues posted is enough to proceed from here. There is no need to rewrite someone else's code or use a different library. But ideally you should not include xajax or any other foreign code in our repository; the build script should look for it or (as a lesser evil) download it if necessary.

So you can work from within Savannah I am approving your submission. I will leave this task open so we can recheck again some other time that the code is compliant with our hosting requirements, OK? Welcome, and have fun!



I've approved your project--welcome on board! :-)

You'll receive a mail notification with further instructions shortly.

Happy hacking!

Hi Alex,
    I have some delay in catching up with the changes suggested by Mario because the major changes suggested by Mario was not in my code. It was with the libraries I used. So I decided to rewrite the whole program using some other library. I am searching for a strategy to rewrite the code using some other library with little effort - which until now is futile. I am also thinking of using jquery directly. Thats the reason for the delay.

Hi Kevin,

Are you still willing to work through the issues pointed out by Mario? Apparently it is just changing a few mentions of "open source" to "free software"; let's move on from there.

Hello Kevin.

Please read carefully my former message.  I asked you to "please
replace (Preferable) or at least append this reference to open
source by one to free software" (Emphasis added).  In no place we
"refuse" xajax.

> I am publising my works under GPL [...]


I'm always pleased to see software is released under a free license.
However, that's unrelated to the issue I'm pointing.

Please note that regarding GNU Savannah hosting requirements[1] a free
licensing is neccesary but not sufficient condition.  Licensing is an
important part of free software but by no means the only one to be
considered.  For instance, here we have a wording issue; it's also an
issue when free software requires proprietary software to run.  More
information in http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/philosophy.html.

Regards.

When I checked 'xajax' background, i found that it is published under LGPL license. I understand about the differences in 'Free software', 'Open source' concepts. But, savannah semms to refuse something which is published under a license (LGPL) created by the GNU itself. Why is that so? And moreover, i am publising my works under GPL and its just that my work depends on an a project published under LGPL license.

Hello Kevin.

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in GNU Savannah.
You can reach the rest Savannah hackers (Staff) in this list:
http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers-public.

I noticed some issues with the tarball you submited:

Several files under /smart_society/dependencies/smarty/,
/smart_society/dependencies/xajax/xajax_js/xajax_uncompressed.js lack
copyright & licensing information.

Files under /smart_society/dependencies/xajax/ refer to open source
instead of free software.

As our hosting requirements state, we don't endorse open source.  We
think it misses the point of free software.  Please see
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html.

Could you please replace (Preferable) or at least append this
reference to open source by one to free software?.

The header in several files is inconsistent.  It's stated than they're
part of LaMantengo, then the rest of the header talks about Smart
Society.  Please use the same name along the license header.
Optionally you can add a statement like "This file is also part of
LaMantengo".

Please fix these issues and provide a updated tarball.  You can either
attach it to the tracker or use an external hosting and provide a
direct download URL.

Regards
