Hi,

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

First, please accept our apologizes for this huge delay.

I noticed that Glew is released under a combination of licenses, including "SGI Free Software License B", which is not free (check http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html) - and thus not compatible with the GNU GPL either.

Also, you mention you use "OpenGL". OpenGL as distributed by SGI is non-free for the same reason, however there are free alternatives for it. Please specify which version of OpenGL you plan to use.

Last, since the project was submitted a long time ago, your link to the source code is not valid anymore. Please provide us with a new link.


Please register your project once more with these changes.

The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgment of your earlier registration will direct you to the proper location where you can re-register your project.

Regards.
