Hi, I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] said: > A package was submitted to savannah.nongnu.org > This mail was sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Michael Schiebel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: > License: gpl > Other License: > Package: Open Game Library > System name: ogl > Type: non-GNU > > Description: > The Open Game Library > > OGL is a java based game library, licenced under GPL, that will be available to make > open source cross-paltform (any platform that gcc/gcj is ported to) game development. 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.

Is this the approperate choice or must > I go with the LGPL? You should go with the LGPL if you want to allow any derived games that use the library to be proprietary software.
