Follow-up Comment #16, task #15352 (project administration):

> I have now added the required README file.

Thank you! README doesn't explicitly list the files the notices apply to;
this is quite easy to get wrong, by just adding a new file with a different
status; could you fix that?

> src/*.a files are not part of the code repository for this project any more

It does't follow for me.  Making a release is more than just bundling up your
source files in a tar file and putting it up for FTP.

They require notices because they are copyrightable.

Then why not include them?  GNU standards say that such files should be
included <https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Releases.html>.

Why?
