Does anyone who contributed to SANE have reservations against SANE<br>
|
|
becoming a GNU program? I think making SANE a GNU program would be<br>
|
|
beneficial to both parties (SANE developers & FSF).<br>

I don't think it's a GNU program based on the guidelines you posted<br>
|
|
recently. However, I don't think anybody would object to it becoming<br>
|
|
a GNU program if that were in the interest of GNU/FSF.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We'd be happy to accept it as GNU software, if the appropriate group<br>
|
|
of developers would like to contribute it. Here's the explanation of<br>
|
|
what it means for a program to be GNU software:<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
======================================================================<br>
|
|
Calling a program GNU software means that its developers and the GNU<br>
|
|
project agree that "This program is part of the GNU project, released<br>
|
|
under the aegis of GNU"--and say so in the program.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This means we would normally put the program on ftp.gnu.org (although<br>
|
|
we could instead refer to the developer's choice of ftp site) and we<br>
|
|
would want to put pages about the program on the GNU web server.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It means that the developers would agree pay some attention to making<br>
|
|
the program work well with the rest of the GNU system--and conversely<br>
|
|
that the GNU project would encourage other GNU maintainers to pay some<br>
|
|
attention to making their programs fit in well with it.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Just what it means to make programs work well together is mainly a<br>
|
|
practical matter that depends on what the program does. But there are<br>
|
|
a few general principles. Certain parts of the GNU coding standards<br>
|
|
directly affect the consistency of the whole system. These include<br>
|
|
the standards for configuring and building a program, and the<br>
|
|
standards for command-line options. It is important to make all GNU<br>
|
|
programs follow these standards, where they are applicable.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A GNU program should not recommend use of any non-free program, and it<br>
|
|
should not refer the user to any non-free documentation. The need for<br>
|
|
free documentation is now a major focus of the GNU project; to show<br>
|
|
that we are serious about the need for free documentation, we must not<br>
|
|
contradict our position by recommending use of documentation that<br>
|
|
isn't free.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Occasionally there are issues of terminology which are important for<br>
|
|
the success of the GNU project as a whole. So we ask maintainers of<br>
|
|
GNU programs to follow them. For example, the documentation files<br>
|
|
and comments in the program should speak of Linux-based GNU systems or<br>
|
|
GNU/Linux systems, rather than calling the whole system "Linux", and<br>
|
|
should use the term "free software" rather than "open source".<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Deciding that a program is GNU software does not necessarily require<br>
|
|
transferring copyright to the FSF; that is a separate issue.<br>
