[Savannah-register-public] [task #5295] Submission of C++ Internet Protocol Routing Software for the Masses

[Camus Patrick]

Follow-up Comment #1, task #5295 (project administration):

Hi,

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

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.

Please can you  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 GNU GPL you must
include a copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning
of every  copyrightable file, usually any file more than 10 lines long.  This
is explained in http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would
help catch potential omissions such as these.

Note that sending code to our repositories _is_ a release, since the code
will then be publicly available through anonymous access. 

And the last, you probably know that Lex and Yacc are not free, but Flex and
GNU Bison are !!

Cheers
