After looking more closely, I have to apologize. I didn't realize that the last download entry was the source code, so that reason is not applicable at all. It's a better practice for open source if you have a public version control repository, but as long as you publish the source code, it's certainly not required. As for the disclaimer on the other page, I suggest just replacing it with the GPLv3 license text, since it includes a disclaimer of warranty (ie. "If it breaks, it's not my fault"). But that alone, as long as the code is indeed under the license advertised on Google Code, I now see no reason to delete your project. I've restored it, sorry for the inconvenience. - Dave > > Thank you, > > Chris. > > On May 19, 8:21 am, David Anderson <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi Chris, >> >> Google Code is a platform for hosting of open source software.
