Hi,
I've discovered that the project uses dual GPL/GFDL licensing for it's
documentation. Haven't got definitive answer on the web whether it's
OK. Do you have experience with this kind of licensing--is it
acceptable on Savannah?
The exact wording is as follows (doc/source/LICENSE.txt):

notice "License <license name> removed <date ISO 8601> by

--------------------------------
The project is already hosted at sourceforge (http://pm-lib.sourceforge.net/).
There is also a minor problem with copyright notices in several source
files, however, it should be trivial to fix them.
Cheers,
Alex
