Hello,

Node.js is license is incompatible with the GPL: it contains OpenSSL which is
licensed under the Original (4-clause) BSD license
.  Unfortunately,
this makes your package GPL-incompatible.  We can't host such packages on
Savannah.

I'm not a lawyer, but as far as I know, assigning copyright needs some kind of
paperwork from the current copyright holders.  Every time you add a
contributor, you would need signed papers from every previous contributor.

> It is not important to us who the exact authors of some files are.

Having valid copyright notices is important for the users of your package.  If
you have no real commitment to maintain these records carefully, let us not
register your package on Savannah.

[Savannah-register-public] [task #15352] Submission of An interpretor for a language with automatic error propagation

Thank you!

INSTALL looks like the file from Autoconf; have you any copyright related to
it, really?

Files like lex.yy.c and src/vm.a have no copyright and license notices (please
check other files as well).

At last, some of your license notices say, "Foobar is distributed in the hope
that it will be useful".

No.  There used to be an alpha-quality script, but we check packages manually
these days.  It shouldn't be a problem for your package, it has less than 1000
files.

[comment #11 comment #11:]

Could we request you to re-check the updated tar file
(http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~sbhatnag/Softwares/fussy.tar.gz)?

Thanks for your continued effort in reviewing our submission.  Apologies for
missing the issues you mention below:
 
> INSTALL looks like the file from Autoconf; have you any copyright related to
it, really?

Thanks for pointing this out.  We have now removed our copyright notice from
it, but kept the license notice.  Hope that is appropriate (and necessary?).

> Files like lex.yy.c and src/vm.a have no copyright and license notices
(please check other files as well).

We have removed these files.   These are not necessary and are generated as
part of the build process.  Apologies for missing to exclude them earlier.

We have checked that all files now have some copyright and license notice. 
Only files which have neither are the following PDF files.  Not sure if they
need these notices and if so, how to add them.

doc/LaTeX/Figs/fig1.pdf
doc/LaTeX/Figs/fig2.pdf


> At last, some of your license notices say, "Foobar is distributed in the
hope that it will be useful".

Fixed.  "grep -ir foobar *" now does not find any file.  Apologies for missing
to check this earlier.

Thanks.  A combination of the "find" and "grep" commands to search for a few
keywords seems to be sufficient for this project.
