Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah - apologizes for the delay.

Even though your project is Free Software it can not be hosted here.
We only host projects that can run on a free operating system (such as GNU/Linux).

We have adopted this policy because now that completely free operating systems exist, we do not want to encourage users of those systems to start using proprietary operating systems so that they can use your program.

If you are willing to maintain a version for free operating systems, which work as well as or better than other ports, you can then provide versions for non-free systems as well. The idea is that at no point should only-free users be at a disadvantage compared to users of proprietary software.

Your project should always work equally well in free systems as in any other version you provide; if you have some modules for non-free systems, you can delay their release until you have released the free operating system version.

If you accept this commitment then please register your project again and it should be approved in Savannah.

Your project also requires proprietary software (PalmOS SDK 3.5). Savannah is willing to provide resources and time to developers writing Free Software that can be used without the need to ask permission from proprietary software vendor.

Thank you for your understanding.

Regards.
