[日記] 不是向GNU Software申請補助

我想提供我的專案給GNU Software,
不過失敗了,以下是我跟GNU Software人員的對話,
有些部份,為了隱私,打馬賽克。
=Ineiev========================================
Hello, ***!
Unfortunately, we have to decline your offer. The goal
of the GNU Project is to develop and enhance the GNU operating
system, and your program doesn't fit it in many ways: its
primary platform is Windows, it uses GPL-incompatible license
for its source code and even nonfree license for its documentation,
its only UI language is Chinese, its build procedure doesn't
comply with GNU standards. Moreover, the scope of your program
considerably overlaps with already existing GNU programs, and
accepting your program would mean suboptimal use of our resources.
Thank you once again for offering your package to GNU.
=Me=============================================
Hello, Ineiev!
The main platform for running the program is indeed Windows, but it can also
run on macOS and Linux. Although I haven't personally built it for Linux, if
Cython can be used to build it on Linux, it should be runnable there as well.
As for the documentation, it was written by another friend on the internet,
and if there are copyright concerns, we can remove the documentation part.
Regarding the user interface (UI), it is currently in Chinese, but there are
not many Chinese characters involved. If it has the opportunity to become
part of GNU software, we can easily add English text since there are not many
words involved. The reason English text is not currently used is because the
program is a ***(打馬賽克), which is actually a ***(打馬賽克) played with
Taiwanese rules. The ***(打馬賽克) themselves are represented using Chinese
characters, so the UI text is also in Chinese.
As for GNU games, while there are many ***(打馬賽克), to the best of my
knowledge, there hasn't been a GNU software release for ***(打馬賽克) yet.
Even if this game doesn't pass GNU scrutiny, there might be some
misunderstandings regarding the points I've mentioned above.
=Ineiev=========================================
Thank you for clarifications, but even these points can't make
***(打馬賽克) a feasible candidate.
=Me=============================================
Hello, thank you for your response. Since the software written in Python is
relatively large, it apparently involves more code, so I'm concerned about
potential copyright issues. I'd like to ask whether software written in
Python with the addition of third-party free APIs is not suitable to be
considered GNU software now? Additionally, would a tool solely written in
Python still not be suitable for GNU software? If none of the above
situations are suitable, then it naturally follows that ***(打馬賽克), which
I have written, is not suitable to be part of GNU software.

The criteria your package doesn't pass are quite different. I outlined
a few of them in my response.

I must point out that it's GNU Evaluation Team who decides
whether the offered package is suitable for GNU, not you. Sorry.

以上是我跟GNU Software人員的對話,
我的英文沒那麼好,是用ChatGPT中翻英得到的英文,
但是,他最後一句not you, 有點觸動到我的敏感神經,
拜託,我是想要無償提供軟体給你們GNU Software,
不是向GNU Software申請補助款耶,
搞清楚供需關係好嗎?真是的…
