Follow-up Comment #3, task #10380 (project administration): -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256
May 17th 2010 in GNU Savannah task #10380: "Submission of gnuprologjava". Hi all. >Let's not compound the mistake by denying a GNU project access to >savannah, please. For what I understand of https://savannah.gnu.org/register/requirements.php all projects wich want to be hosted in Savannah must comply with those requirements: both the GNU and the non-GNU projects. >This is not right. Although admittedly it was a mistake, >gnuprologjava was accepted as an official GNU project many years >ago. Pavan, the new maintainer, is now doing the right thing for GNU >by trying to move development off sourceforge and onto savannah, and >eliminate the JDK dependency -- or perhaps he has already done >so. (Have you, Pavan?) Karl: I'ts fine if gnuprologjava runs on a fully free. I wouldn't have rejected the project if this information were included in the submission form, but it didn't; instead Pavan wrote "It was initially developed using JDk 1.2" but nothing about another, free implementation (I.e: "But now it's developed on IcedTea"). Based on this project description, I rejected the submission because the Sun JDK 1.2 isn't fully free (Nor are the current versions AFIK). I appreciate your opinion as a longstanding free software volunteer; please tellme what do you think I should do when the description says it run on a propietary platform but not on a free one. Pavan: If you develop and test gnuprologjava in a free software Java implementation and it don't requires propietary software free feel to resubmit the project, but this time please don't forget to say what free implementations can run it ;-). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREIAAYFAkvxupkACgkQZ4DA0TLic4ibRACfWOpG497x4RBeQY4SzJS8GXwq 0GEAn0CevAi8hsEcMVCKtLAm//r0XjLy =KRVr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?10380> _______________________________________________ Mensaje enviado vai/por Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
