Hi, I'm evaluating your application.

Licensing under the "GNU GPL v2 only" is problematic.  Would you agree to license your project under the "GNU GPL v2 or later"?

The reason for this is that when we publish the next version of the GPL, it will be important for all GPL-covered programs to advance to that new version. If you don't put this in the files now, the only way to port your program to the next version of the GPL would be to ask each and every copyright holder, and that may be very difficult.

We can explain the issue in more detail if you wish. If you have concerns about "GNU GPL v2 or later", we'd be happy to address them too.

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.

We require that all documentation have a compatible license with GNU Free Documentation License. The GNU GPL is not compatible with the FDL and as such you may not use it for your documentation.

You may find compatibile licenses here:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#FreeDocumentationLicenses

You added the license notices, but did not add appropriate copyright notices.

Please check http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html for more information, and update your files. Also, place copying permission notices for all your files. These files will include Makefiles, scripts, and ChangeLogs from your project.

I want to make sure that this project works without non-free software that is included in the linux kernel. Can you confirm that this project will provide better support for the linux-libre project?

http://www.fsfla.org/svnwiki/selibre/linux-libre/

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

  51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA

Please update your license notices.

Please update the copy of the license (usually, the 'COPYING' file) in your package as well.

The old updated version of the GPL can be found at:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt

Really, we think you should upgrade to the latest version of the GPL.

Updated versions of the GPL, LGPL and GFDL can also be found at:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.txt
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt

You can find some background and a possible migration script at https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=3766

(alternatively the GNU (L)GPLv3 standard notices include different wording that do not mention the FSF snail mail address
- see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html#howto )

Sorry.  Dotsrc has turned off the site (it was up when I filled out the
registration form).  Try here:

Registration Administration


While this item will be useful to track the registration process, approving or discarding the registration must be done using the specific Group Administration page, accessible only to site administrators, effectively logged as site administrators (superuser):



Registration Details


  • Name: Chrony
  • System Name:  chrony
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: Other (GNU General Public License v2)





Description:

Chrony is a pair of programs which are used to maintain the accuracy of the system clock on a computer. The two programs are called  chronyd  and  chronyc.  Both are written in C.

Chronyd is a background (daemon) program, which can be started at boot time.

Chronyc provides a user interface to chronyd for monitoring its performance and configuring various settings.

Chrony can be used to keep your computer clock in step with the true time (actually UTC) obtained from the international network of NTP servers, and/or to keep a network of computers in time with one another using the NTP protocol.  It also can serve as an NTP server.


Other Software Required:

libc6, libreadline5


Other Comments:

We must move because sunsite.dk is going to stop hosting projects.  See <http://chrony.sunsite.dk/> for more information.  The primary author of Chrony and current project administrator is Richard Curnow  <rc@rc0.org.uk>.
Chrony is currently included in several GNU/Linux distributions, including Debian.  I am the maintainer of the Debian Chrony package.  The project has existed for more than 10 years.
