Hi,

I tried to get one of my Ada projects into SourceForge. I told them that the
licence used is the GMGPL, and they refused to host the project because this
licence is not an official OSI licence.

So now I am faced with a few alternatives:
1.) Find another host for the project - any ideas?
2.) Convince SourceForge that the GMGPL is actually fine as an open licence -
    has anyone already tried that, I can't believe that I am the first
    one to try?
3.) Convince OSI to add the GMGPL as an approved licence - anyone tried
    that?
4.) Find another licence which is comparable to the GMGPL, but has another
    name and is already OSI approved - any ideas?

Comments, suggestions?

Steffen
