Savannah's primary means is not to only provide download areas for projects.  Further, your magazine would have copyright issues, since the "freak article" occurrence would not be "free".  Consequently, your project is unable to be hosted at Savannah.

###### ORIGINAL SUBMISSION DETAILS ######

System Group Name:
-----------------
  fsm


Full Name:
----------
  Free Software Magazine


Type:
-----
  non-GNU


License:
--------
  Other


Other License:
--------------
  The magazine will contain several articles, and each one will be covered by the license chosen by its author.
Most of them (if not all) will be released under a free license (see the project's technical  description).



Description:
------------
  I would like you to help me with Free Software Magazine.
http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com

All the articles are released under:

  • the GFDL or
  • A Creative Commons license or
  • A verbatim copy only license


I must say that sometimes we do get the "freak article", which is simply (c) by its author.
But it's not normal.

I would like to use Savannah as a means of distributing the PDF version of the magazine.
One possible problem is that the magazine's PDF will be complete - it will therefore include advertising material  (full page ads, half page ads, and so on).


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  None


Other Comments:
---------------
  At the moment, we are having a bandwidth issue. We had 19000 downloads in 5 days. Please help!
