Hi Sebastian,

sorry for not having answered earlier - somehow the whole thread got a bit lost. Anyhow - we have decided to host on a normal hetzner server, so please feel free to remove the project.

Apologies again for not answering half as fast as needed. Thanks for running your service.

Yours,

  Joerg

Hi,

I am waiting for an answer from you.

If within one week I still do not get a reply, I will remove your project.
You will still be able to register it again once you have the time to deal with the registration issues.

Are you still willing to host your project at Savannah?
If not, please tell us - we don't bite, and it will make us gain time.

Regards.

Hello.

At first, 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.
For more information, please see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html.



At second, please include a (perhaps temporary) URL pointing to the source code (**of your software**).
The description you gave when registering will not be read by the general public.
If you are still concerned with privacy, however, you can forward the code to me by email.

We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to catch potential legal issues early.

For example, to release your program properly under the GPL you must include a copyright notice and
permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every file of source code.  This is explained in
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would help catch potential omissions such as these.


Regards,

Hi Sebastian,

thanks a lot for taking the time to have a look at the project submission.

The software for the system itself will be GPL.

I see your point. The software will be zope based, using other open source products. See below.

It would be just the software itself - it is going to be run on another server anyhow. Its the pure development we were thinking about. The server we are using at the moment is https://copycan.org.

As said before, just the software to run the system, not running the system. But I have got the impression that I might have knocked on the wrong door in the first place. I am sorry for that. So maybe it might be best then if we look somewhere else?

Hi,
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

At first, the "Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 2.0 license" and the "Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 license" are both incompatible with our GNU GPL and GNU FDL.


At second, we need a detailed technical description that specifies such requirements as programming languages and external libraries.
It should be at least one-half a page.

What do you want to host on Savannah exactly? Do you have got any source code of this software, you want to use, currently - so that we can have a look at it?


At third, Savannah doesn't want to host this huge project (with the whole music files) at all because for space and bandwidth reasons.

So how can we help you?

Regards,

Sebastian Wieseler <kickino>

A new project has been registered at Savannah
The project account will remain inactive until a site admin approve or discard the registration.


######### 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):

  <https://savannah.nongnu.org/siteadmin/groupedit.php?group_id=8612>


######### REGISTRATION DETAILS #########

Full Name:
----------
  copycan

System Group Name:
-----------------
  copycan

Type:
-----
  non-GNU software & documentation

License:
--------
  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
  Copycan — Buy it for the public domain!
What is Copycan?

Copycan is a new concept of distributing digital content.

Copycan allows musicians and other creators of digital content to receive money and appreciation for their work without the restrictive methods of the music industry.
How does it work?
Step 1: Upload Content!
The artist uploads his work in digital form (e.g. music files) to an online platform run by a trusted party. He announces the amount of money he would like to have for releasing his work under a free license like Creative Commons.
Step 2: Collect Money!
People transfer money to the trusted party's account with reference to the particular artist. Maybe they want the particular work to be published or just want to support the artist.
Step 3: Release and Distribute!
If the announced amount is reached, the artist gets paid, the content gets released and is from then on freely available in the public domain. The files can be copied and distributed through filesharing networks.

Culture is flowing freely, artist and consumers are happy.
