What I mean:

"No, that is not an official project."
gnulinuxkde, me, and nobody else who are actually developing this project made that "open-blox" project.

"Those are wanna-bes."
The people in the "open-blox" project (the one you found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/open-blox/ ).

"The real one is openblox-game."
This one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openblox-game

Hi.

Excuse me, without context I'm unable to understand this part you
reply:

> No, that is not an official project.


What?.

> Those are wanna-bes.


Whom?.

> The real one is openblox-game.


What do you mean, exactly?.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fine.

We need some information and changes in the project files, see my
previous comment (https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?10508#comment5).  We
can't proceed without that information/changes.  Don't hesitate to
tell us if you need more information with some point :-).

Hi.

>I've attached a new archive with fixes. It now has more license
>blocks


Several files still lack copyright & licensing information.  Please
remember EVERY copyrightable file must carry their copyright &
licensing information inside if possible, else (Images for example) in
a README file in the same directoy take
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/etc/images/README as
an exaple.

Are the copyright holders referred to in the copyright notices
(ZettaDude, linuxkde, linuxmint, racecar56, brandonsh,
piepersonofdoom), a legal entity that can be assigned copyright? If
not you need to add the author(s) name(s) instead.  Please chedk
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html.

Free software licensing is a serious issue.  We need to make sure your
project is properly licensed as free softare.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

>and it also says that it's free software on startup.


I don't think a reference to free software offsets another to open
source.  I really need to know whether you agree or not to use a name
than reflects freedom like "FreeBlox" or so.  If you do We can
continue with the registration process in the (D)VCS repository of
your choise.  This means I would approve the project just now provided
you agree to fix any remaining or further issue (If any) as soon as
possible.  If you don't we will discuss your choise among all others
savannah hackers because we want to promote free software, not open
source as alredy explained in
https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?10508#comment1.

I will close this task when I can check all is ok but please bear in
mind you must follow the hosting requirements as long as you do use
GNU Savannah.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is http://sourceforge.net/projects/open-blox/ the same project as this
one?.  If it is please note we do not want to be used just as a
mirror.  How would you use Savannah in the case the project is
approved?.

Regards.

Hi.

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.

Please fix this issues and provide a updated tarball.  You can ethier
attach it to the tracker or use an external hosting and provide a
direct download URL.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The problem with name "OpenBlox" is that makes people think of about
"openness" instead of freedom as explained in depth here:
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html.

Would you agree to use a name than reflects freedom, "FreeBlox" for
example?.  A neutral name is fine too.

Regards.

The original person who thought of the name meant it to be open as in "open source" but we have changed it to mean "open community"

Hi.

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in GNU Savannah.
You can reach the rest Savannah hackers (Staff) in this list:
http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers-public.

Please note Savannah's mission is to host free software projects, and
we want the public to think of them as free software projects.  A
project name that says "open" will tend to lead people to think of the
project as "open source" instead of "free software".

We would be glad if you accept to use "free" instead of "open" in your
project name.
