Ah, I'm sorry, I just noticed I can do that myself from project admin page.  I suppose it'll be there with next cron job.

Thanks

I'not sure if that file's syntax allows comments.  I'll see if it can be done.

Thanks for approving it.  Would you please add an SVN repository?

Yes, or maybe put a comment in that file explaining the situation.

I approve your project, welcome on board.

Hi,

Wine is LGPL and my installer is GPL.  The file "license" corresponds to the license of Wine, and is used by wined3d.nsi as the text that will be displayed during installation:

  wined3d.nsi:LicenseData license

I agree it's confusing, I should have picked a different name.  Would "wine-license-header" be fine?

Hi Robert,

the file license speaks about the LGPL while the license in the text is about the GPL?

Registration Administration


While this item will be useful to track the registration process, approving or discarding the registration must be done using the specific Group Administration page, accessible only to site administrators, effectively logged as site administrators (superuser):



Registration Details


  • Name: WineD3D
  • System Name:  wined3d
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License v3 or later (This project can potentially work with ReactOS, but is primarily target at a non-free OS (Microsoft Windows).


However, it should be noted that its goal is to replace a widespread non-free library (Direct3D), and eventually even implement D3D10, thereby reducing the incentive for users to upgrade to Vista (D3D10 is a Vista-only feature).
)




Description:

WineD3D is the component of Wine that implements a replacement for Microsoft Direct3D. WineD3D works as a wrapper for Direct3D calls, and relies on OpenGL for the actual rendering job.

Although primarily designed for use in Wine, WineD3D can also be used on native Windows. This has a number of advantages over using Microsoft Direct3D:

    * You're free to use it for any purpose, study what it does, modify it to suit your needs, or share it with your friends.
    * It can implement versions of Direct3D for Windows versions that Microsoft doesn't want to support (e.g. d3d10 on XP).
    * Since it relies on OpenGL, it can provide Direct3D without need for specific D3D drivers (notably, on VMs like VirtualBox or QEMU).

The purpose of this project is to provide a build system and NSIS-based installer, and use it to produce Windows builds for each Wine release.



Other Software Required:

Wine, LGPLv2, http://www.winehq.org/
Mingw32, weak copyleft, http://www.mingw.org/
