Hi,

I have approved your project as non-GNU. You will receive an automated e-mail containing detailed information

If you would like to offer your project to the GNU project,
please contact the GNU Eval team, following the instructions at
http://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html .


Nevertheless you should add in the directory of the images a README file, too, which includes whom the files belongs to, the copyright notices and the license notices.

And the address of the FSF has changed, and is now:

The goal of the project is to provide a Java server (primarily a web server and servlet container) for the GNU operating system. This server will be able to be compiled to native code by gcj.                             
                                                                               
Since I submitted the project we (the Classpath team) have already made several updates that enable more of gumdrop to work as advertised on free Java platforms. I am also in communication with the maintainers of free Java virtual machines in order to ensure that JVM-level features are present. Some simple web applications are already working on the CVS HEAD versions of Kaffe and JamVM. I am also in collaboration with Casey Marshall to provide the SSL support for GNU Classpath which will underlie an HTTPS-capable version of gumdrop.

I have prepared a new package (with new graphics) at the original location

  http://bluezoo.org/gumdrop.tar.gz                                            
                                                                               
following the above guidelines, since I could not locate copyright information for some of the graphics.

Hi,

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

We only host projects that runs on a free software java suite or,
if the primary focus of the project is now to make it work with a free software java suite.
What are the goals of your project?

And last please include missing copyright notices in your header
(as described in http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html)
of the .xml and .html files and add a short notice in your README file, which says whom the binary files (the png files exp.) belongs to (have a look at http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html)
Because if that files are not freely available we can not host your project at all.

Regards,

Sebastian Wieseler <kickino>

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

System Group Name:
-----------------
  gumdrop


Full Name:
----------
  gumdrop


Type:
-----
  Official GNU software


License:
--------
  GNU General Public License V2 or later


Other License:
--------------



Description:
------------
  gumdrop is a multipurpose Java server using asynchronous I/O. It provides a servlet container implementing most of the servlet 1.4 specification.
Because the number of threads in the gumdrop servlet container is independent of the number of concurrent connections, it can scale much better than traditional Java web servers like Tomcat. It also avoids dependency on large, slow libraries and is therefore quite fast.
Source code can be found at http://bluezoo.org/gumdrop.tar.gz


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  Requires GNU inetlib and the JavaMail and servlet APIs (available from the GNU classpathx project).
gumdrop currently requires Java 2. At the moment work is under way to provide enough support for the thread management and asynchronous I/O APIs in GNU classpath and gcj to run gumdrop, and to provide enough Java 5 support to develop crypto support (TLS). At the current time, though, there are still too many class library bugs in GNU classpath to run gumdrop out of the box. gumdrop is also intended to serve as a test for enterprise-level functionality in GNU Java projects.
