Follow-up Comment #7, task #7793 (project administration): Hi,
I understand there's a "chicken-and-egg" issue here. If you really want to host your project at Savannah (to benefit from the GNU/FSF symbolism, as far as I understand) you could write to Richard Stallman at [EMAIL PROTECTED], cc'ing me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), and explaining your project and needs. I actually already written to him about this project to determine whether we _could_ host it. I already gave you the conclusion: in principle, why not, but we lack of time and knowledge. The only way out would be to make an exception, because this is a special project indeed. By the way, my company happens to be member of APRIL, so I'm receiving the mailing list. Where did you send your message? I understand that it's not a question that people are familiar with, though there are more and more members with different origins. About licensing or dual licensing: at Savannah we only accept a selection of licenses for hosted works: https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/LicensingRequirements - If you dual license with the GNU GPL, it's fine (though you'll probably weaken your copyleft, indeed). - If you add exceptions to the GNU GPL (in this manner: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLIncompatibleLibs), it's fine provided this does not add restrictions to the end-user, and that you own all the GPL'd source. Independently of the Savannah hosting requirements, using an unmodified license is usually appreciated, because people know what the licence means exactly. As soon as you modify a license this forces people to carefully check the differences, which is time consuming and brings uncertainty. In your case I guess using CC by-sa would reassure people who already used that license, at the expense of the copyleft weakening you mentioned. Regards. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?7793> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
