Follow-up Comment #8, task #13649 (project administration):
Hello,
As I explained before, to comply with GNU Savannah's hosting requirements,
*EACH* file must have a clear copyright statement and license information.
If you had created a new package all by yourself (i.e. wrote ALL files by
yourself from scratch),
then adding mentioning the copyright and licenses for all files in a README
file
would be been somewhat acceptable (though still highly discouraged).
But you are forking an existing package written by others.
So for example, the files I've listed before:
libexec/external_mapping.py
Contains a AGPLv3 license notice, and a mention that "this file is part of
Shinken".
But who is the copyright owner of this file?
I would assume that perhaps it is the "shinkin" project authors - but there is
no way to know.
That is why, especially with a project is written by multiple parties, it is
*required* that each file is clearly licensed and copyrighted.
PLEASE,
ensure all files have clear copyright statements and licensing information -
either by your or by the upstream project.
Regarding the usage of "Linux":
In the files that I've listed (and perhaps in others), the term "Linux" is
used in comments.
Those could and should be changed without affecting program execution.
Regarding excluding files:
If you intend to later add these files to Savannah (e.g. using git), then
these files should not be excluded.
To continue with project evaluation,
please upload an updated archive (i.e. a tarball, containing all files,
updated and not-updated) using the savannah web interface.
regards,
- assaf
