Follow-up Comment #3, task #5852 (project administration): Hi,
Now that I've got the tarball of your project I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah. There are a few problems which I noticed whilst reviewing your project. Descriptions of these problems can be found below. First of all, licensing under the "GNU GPL v2 only" is problematic. Would you agree to license your project under the "GNU GPL v2 or later"? The reason for this is that when we publish GPL v3, it will be important for all GPL-covered programs to advance to GPL v3. If you don't put this in the files now, the only way to port your program to GPL v3 would be to ask each and every copyright holder, and that may be very difficult. We can explain the issue in more detail if you wish. If you have concerns about "GNU GPL v2 or later", we'd be happy to address them too. Secondly, in order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the GNU GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every copyrightable file, usually any file more than 10 lines long. In addition, please include a copy of the plain text version of the GPL, available from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt, into a file named "COPYING". For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html. The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed. To learn why a copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code, for example, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude. If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please provide us with an URL to an updated tarball of your project. Upon review, we will reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah. To help us better keep track of your registration, please use the tracker's web interface following the link below. Do not reply directly, the registration process is not driven by e-mail, and we will not receive such replies. Regards. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?5852> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
