Sorry but, note that commercial does not mean proprietary.

Free Software means that users have certain freedoms; it does not mean zero price.
"Commercial" means "associated with business"; a commercial program may be free or non-free, depending on its license.
So it is a mistake to treat "free" and "commercial" as contraries.  When a business develops free software,
that is free commercial software.

;-)
Regards and look forward to your re-registration.

URAPIV <urapiv> wrote per PRIVATE Mail, not using the Tracker-URI mentioned in ALL mails from the tracker. :'(:

First of all, I'm absolutely sure that I already answered. I do not know what happened to my first answer, and I do not have any problem to repean the answer. If it will not go through this time, I'll give up with Savannah :-(

1. I'm the developer of URAPIV and I'll rewrite PyPIV from scratch. No problem with this side.

2. matplotlib is not necessary and I think I would be able to do provide the working version with gnuplot (through gplt of python)
3. the source code of PyPIV does not exist yet. the source code of URAPIV is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/matlabpiv

Thanks for your care,

So how do you plan to use Savannah, if you haven't got any source code at the moment? Do you need this project really, now, or could you re-register when you have got any source code to show us?

Regards and sorry for the inconvience.

Hi,

I am waiting for an answer from you.

If within one week I still do not get a reply, I will remove your project.
You will still be able to register it again once you have the time to deal with the registration issues.

Are you still willing to host your project at Savannah?
If not, please tell us - we don't bite, and it will make us gain time.


To help us better keep track of your registration, please use the tracker's web interface following the link below. Do not reply directly, the registration process is not driven by e-mail, and we will not receive such replies.

Regards.

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


At first, the license of matplotlib (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/matplotlib/matplotlib/license/LICENSE?rev=1.35&view=markup) is a little bit strange. But I guess it is GPL compatible but I'll need to contact our license-team about it when those guys will be back from holidays. :-)


At second, what do you mean by "We are translating"?
urapiv seems to be released under the old BSD license, which is incompatible with our GPL. So do you want to re-write it from scratch? Or copy some parts of it (you are totally not allowed to do that, because of the incompatibility)?



At third, please include a (perhaps temporary) URL pointing to the source code.
The description you gave when registering will not be read by the general public.
If you are still concerned with privacy, however, you can forward the code to me by email.

We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to catch potential legal issues early.

For example, to release your program properly under the GPL you must include a copyright notice and
permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every file of source code.  This is explained in
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would help catch potential omissions such as these.

Regards and Happy GNU year -- the Savannah Administration team.
