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

Beware of the word 'open'.

Note that Savannah supports projects of the Free Software movement, not
projects of the Open Source movement.

We are careful about ethical issues and insist on producing software
that is not dependent on proprietary software.

While Open Source as defined by its founders means
something pretty close to Free Software, it's frequently
misunderstood.  For more information, please see
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html.

Hence, we prefer the term 'free'.

I have approved your project.  You will receive an automated e-mail
containing detailed information about the approval.
