Hi Luca,

Please upload the updated tarball to the Savannah's tracker, so that I can review it. :)

Cheers.

Hi,

I have placed the copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every copyrightable file.

What I have to do now ?

Thanks.

Hi Luca,

OK, so now we can go ahead :)

In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the GNU GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every copyrightable file, usually any file more than 10 lines long.

In addition, if you haven't already, please include a copy of the plain text version of the GPL, available from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt, into a file named "COPYING".

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.

If some of your files cannot carry such notices (e.g. binary files), then you can add a README file in the same directory containing the copyright and license notices. Check http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html for further information.

The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed.  To learn why a copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code, for example, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude.

Cheers.

Hi,

yes right. This is very good for me.

I would like to use GNU GPL for the source code and GNU FDL for the documentation.
Probably I have made a mistake during project's licence choice.

I agree with you.

Thanks.

Hi Luca,

In my opinion, your project should be released under the GNU GPL and the documentation under GNU FDL. I think your projet is a free software and should be released as a free software, so under the GNU GPL.

Additionnaly, <We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software> This is your case ! Your project is not only documentation and you can release the documentation under the GNU FDL.

Do you agree ??

Cheers.

Hi,

my idea is to use the GNU FDL to give to other people, like computer engineering students, the possibility to check the hardware and software functionalty of the entire system and for a future system manual.

I had selected it for this reason:

"We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference."

If you could advise me for a best option, no problem for me.

Hi,

Hmm, are you sure that the GNU FDL is the best option for your project ??

You can grab more information at
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html

Please could you explain us why you plan to use the GFDL ??

Cheers.

Hi,

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

Please, accept our apologies for the delay you are facing.

Unfornunatly, the URL you pointed us is unavailable right now. Could you give us another URL ??

Cheers.

Registration Details


  • Name: Xplored Robotics Team Colombo Autonomous
  • System Name:  colombo
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: GNU Free Documentation License





Description:

The goal of the project is to develop the needed hardware and software for an exceptionally powerful and versatile Autonomous Control System (A.C.S.) for a general pourpose explorer rover bot.
This system, actually, is composed of three main subsystem that provide low-level real time data acquisition and high level navigation, obstacle avoidance and real time path planning functionality.
In details, level 1 is responsable for environmentals and general pourpose sensors data reading and telemetry, level 2 for data processing, filtering and motion control and level 3 for obstacle avoidance by sonar and stereo vision system.
Actually the A.C.S. makes uses of two LPC2106 ARM7TDMI-S microcontroller for the logic and one Via EPIA Nehemiah LVDS motherboard with Gentoo GNU\Linux and OpenCV for the obstacle avoidance by stereovision.
The main idea is that should be possibile control the rover in two ways, one fully automatic with the A.C.S. engaged and one semi automatic like a teleoperated mode.
An exporer rover bot equipped with the A.C.S. can localizes itself  by GPS signal and compute a path to reach a position by following a pre-loaded path. During the mission it have to avoids obstacle and trasmit telemtry data back to a ground station.
Actually the code is still in heavy development, we have now setup the ARM7 SPI, I2C, RS232 communication functions and the GPS data decoding functions.
The source code could be downloaded here: http://www.xplored.org/arm7tdmi.zip



Other Software Required:

arm-elf-gcc
OpenCV


Other Comments:

I would like to use the GNU FDL license.
