[Sylvain Beucler]

Follow-up Comment #2, task #3894 (project administration):

Hi,

Apologies for the delay.
I found this mail in my mailbox, it appears you didn't reply via the tracker,
which is more difficult for us to track.

Well, OJI is used all over Mozilla code when it comes to putting Java
into Gecko, see http://www.mozilla.org/oji/ "Open JVM Integration (OJI)"

So I thought "Soji" would ring a bell... Open here does not mean open
source, but open spec, that my free software will try to implement.

I shall not use "open-source" in the description of the project as I too   
prefer "Free Software" to "Open Source Software".

If the project name is really a problem, I can think of something else
even though I quite like this one.

It proposes to do the same thing, at the end, but in a different way.
But the main difference is that we will try to build bottom up using
high level standards security specifications (notably formal
specifications and refinement).

Thanks for your help

--------------------

So,

We do need that the name do not contain "Open". We recommand to use "Free"
instead, but that's not mandatory. You can very well use the same acronym but
with a different meaning.

Since you do not have source code, we will approve your project as such, and
review it in the near future, for example within one month, to check for
legal issues.

Please tell me about the new project name.
