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

Arnaud Quette <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: Package: libHID
System name: libhid
Type: non-GNU
Description: libHID - a portable HID API
libHID is a GPL project that aims to provide a layer of abstraction for accessing HID-class [1] devices over USB or serial lines (similar to what libusb [2] provides for the base USB protocol).
libHID will initially provide a \\\"Generic HID Access\\\", using the MGE HID parser [3], for all platforms supported by libusb, that is to say:
* GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin and MacOS X
libHID will also provide \\\"Native HID Access\\\" for:
* GNU/Linux using kernel 2.4.22/2.6 and above with the new hiddev driver,
* Mac OS X using the HID Manager.
Later versions will maybe provide \\\"Native HID Access\\\" for:
* GNU/Linux kernel v2.4 with the old hiddev driver,
* Win32 (Windows 98 SE and later).
The project is not currently functional, but the various needed layers are already written (currently embedded in NUT patch ; patches soon available). The \\\"code\\\" available from the homepage [4] is more a set of ideas for the API, and doesn\\\'t reflect the final code...
For more information, please have a look at libHID\\\'s current homepage [4].

In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy
statements at the beginning of every file of source code.
In addition, if you haven't already, please copy a copy of the plain text version of the GPL, available from (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt), into a file named "COPYING".
Hi Rudy, thanks for your mail.
As stated in my previous answer to Mathieu Roy:
>>>>>>>>> What I should have also told is that I'm already familiar with GPL projects (as author or member of several...)... Once again, the current state of the CVS tree and files content does only reflect the main coding ideas I've in mind.
There are hosts of things left to be done for libHID to be released to the public, and as always, I'll do it in the GNU spirit. Please refer to my other projects to see some practical results.
I've added COPYING to the current libHID CVS, but the GPL headers are already present in all "real" files (ie not those that are empty). The only thing is that doxygen rip those headers before exposing those on the website...
Lastly, all of this is now updated on the current libHID webpage, and I've re registered the project.
>>>>>>>>>
Meanwhile, libhid as been approved. Ahem, looking back at the project page, it has been de approved and I've lost the things I've done meanwhile (list, descriptions, homepage link, ...).
Please, restore it. All you asked for has been done! Check back the hackers list...
Thanks again for your help, Best regards,
Arnaud
