Follow-up Comment #77, task #14578 (project administration):

Hello Ineiev,

unfortunately, the files your' re speaking about, are not mines... So it would
be probably not easy to change them to fit savannah needs. I will see and let
them you know when done.
Thank again for your help.

Follow-up Comment #76, task #14578 (project administration):

Hello, Nicolas!

In doc/html/jquery.js, copyright and license notices aren't specific enough,
e.g.


Copyright (c) 2009 AUTHORS.txt (http://jqueryui.com/about)


One shouldn't rely on URLs, the texts they contain may change (and the server
may shutdown).


Released under the MIT, BSD, and GPL Licenses.


* Short licenses should be written in the files that use them.
* "BSD" may refer to different licenses, some of them GPL-incompatible.
* The version of the GPL isn't specified.
* What does the combination of the licenses mean? May all code in question be
used under any of them? Does each license rather apply to its parts of code?

Files like doc/html/resize.js use an ambiguous license notice;
I suggest using the recommended form (see comment #36).

I' ve double-checked all files under doc subdirs.
I' ve distinguished two cases: files embedded by Doxygen and files generated
by Doxygen. The copyright notice of such files is now relative to this
distinction. I suppose its now more accurate of Savannah needs. Thank you for
your help.
File gdsl-1.8.tar.gz updated at its usual place.

Follow-up Comment #74, task #14578 (project administration):

This file is automatically generated by doxygen. Maybe I've badly understood
doxygen license. I have understood that doxygen license does not apply on
generated files, instead, the right license that applies on generated file is
the main package license, so I' ve concluded its mine... If its not the case,
which licence do you think I should use for this file (and others in the same
conditions): GDFL, doxygen, other? 
Thank you for your help.

First, I' ve obvsiously fixed the wrong licence added in the
doc/html/jquery.js. Second, I' ve worked for making generation of doc/html,
doc/man3 and doc/latex decorelated. This allow me to specialize them in an
easiest way than before. I' ve also modified README files under doc/ to
explain which files are covered by which license. And I' ve tried to use GFDL
v3 for all doc/. I think its in a better way... Thanks for your regards.

Follow-up Comment #71, task #14578 (project administration):

Documentation should be released in GFDLv1.3+-compatible way.

Some notices don't seem valid: for example, Dimitri van Heesh has nothing to
do with doc/html/jquery.js; also, the notice like "documents produced by
doxygen... are not affected by this license" is confusing: why do they contain
that notice, then? And what notices actually apply to them?

archive. I have also replaced the original GDSL licence notice by doxygen one
in the files above (css, js and html) because they are generated by doxygen.

It looks like your code sometimes adds invalid notices, e.g. it may say that a
third-party file is copyrighted by you.

Some files still have no notices.

I've just noticed another issue: Savannah requires that the hosted packages
release their documentation in an FDL-compatible way. The GPLv3+ isn't
compatible with the GFDL1.3+.

I think if your package must be released in a way that doesn't comply with
Savannah policies, it shouldn't be hosted on Savannah.

Follow-up Comment #64, task #14578 (project administration):

I've read the links you sent but its not enough clear to me :-( so:
- as I said in my previous post, I' ve already removed html filenames from the
html/README as you ask me to do, because HTML allow comments and the copyright
notice is in each html file
- I know JavaScript allow comments, but Doxygen don't allow to overwrite these
autogenerated files, so I must left the js filenames in the html/README to
make them covered
- I' ve left the man.3 filenames in the man3/README because I consider that
this format does not allow comment inside.  
Tell me if its looks good or if something else must be fixed.
The usual link is up-to-date.
Thank you.

Did you read the document ValidNotices

http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Legal-Matters.html ?

It doesn't distinguish formats that are raw-readable and readable with some
tools for the purpose of putting the notices in README rather than in the file
itself, what it does distinguish is formats that allow comments with notices
and formats that don't.

Follow-up Comment #62, task #14578 (project administration):

You told me on the 02-13 that HTML files names should'nt be listed in README.
OK, I've now removed them. 
I' ve just tried to explain that I've choosen to list them in the README file
because of their "non-humanily-readable state". I mean I'm distinguing 2
possibilities:
1. a file hold a copyright notice intended to be read by human without any
interpretation (like command more on a raw text file)
2. a file hold a copyright notice NOT intended to be read by human before
interpretating the file with a tool (as for html, or man.3 files).
So my decision was according to the following method:
for the first case, I' ve not listed those files in README (because the notice
can be read without any effort), but I've listed the files described in second
case in the README because their notice could be difficult be read (as for
man3, and for HTML as I thought). I've understood on the 02-13 that you mean
to remove HTML files from the README, so I conclude their notice is
human-readable at your eyes. So my question was, must I do the same for man.3
files (ie. remove their names from the README)? IMO it could be strange
because the man.3 files are very less readable without using a tool... I hope
I'm enough clear. Thank you to tell me.

I'm not sure what you mean. I believe it's readable.

What about the main point, HTML and JavaScript files having no notices in
them?

Follow-up Comment #60, task #14578 (project administration):

I've intentionnaly left all html files names in the README in html/ subdir (as
for .3 files under man3 dir), because I thought the notice was not intended to
be read without interpretating html files (resp. man3 files). So, as you
mentionned, I've now removed all html files names from the html/README. As the
copyright notice is less readable in raw man3 files under man3/ dir, its not
clear if I must do the same or if I left man3 files listed in README...
Could you tell me that please?

It looks like the progress is not very great.

doc/html/README mentions HTML files; they shouldn't be listed in README,
they should include the notices themselves.

README is a fallback only for those files that don't allow comments
like images. HTML and JavaScript files do.

Follow-up Comment #58, task #14578 (project administration):

Well, I'm totally confused... 
The uploaded file was not the good one 8-( (easy visible because I made a big
change in man pages generated by doxygen to avoid lack of copyright in some
separated files).
I've just re-generated a good package after re-checked all files (all have a
copyright or are listed in a README with a copyright note). I've uploaded it
and this time, I checked the uploaded file itself. So now, it seems to be less
probable that something can goes wrong again...
With my kind regards.

That's good (I assume that the rules are quite clear); but then, it's a
responsibility of package maintainers rather than Savannah admins to make sure
that the rules are enforced. In particular, you should check whether every
file has valid notices. Did you do that?

Roughly speaking, one may get an impression that we are discussing package
compliance against my personal opinion about Savannah policies.

However, those rules seem quite unambiguous to me: all files should have valid
copyright and license notices in proper places. Do we agree that the rules are
clear and don't allow multiple interpretations?

OK, so I have successfully added an html comment with copyright notice in all
doxygen generated files (with HTML_HEADER). So, even toc files (like
examples.html, modules.html or files.html) on which I can't decide their
content, does now have the notice in html comments... I' ve also added the
list of doxygen copyrighted files in man3/README and latex/README.
I hope it's OK now, just tell me if you find another thing to do...

Follow-up Comment #45, task #14578 (project administration):

In the last tgz I uploaded yesterday night, the HTML files does include
copyright notices... It was not the case in all other archives before. I found
the way, by using good doxygen tags and by using some tricks (as modifying the
src/mainpage.h.in file) to include the notice in these files... and I was glad
to find it has worked well. When doc is generated by doxygen, you are
dependant on it and you cant do what you want in the generated files: you can
only use doxygen tags, as I did.
Does the generated html files are now correct for you since they include the
copyright notice now? If not, could you show me an example of what you
expect?
Thank you.

Follow-up Comment #43, task #14578 (project administration):

I dont understand the goal of you last post.

You're right, but as I said, all html/ and man3/ files are generated by
Doxygen, and I don't want to have to modify them once they' ve been
generated... Its a lack of time and a huge and risky work: each time a source
file is modified, doc must be regenerated, and then all generated files should
be manually modified too... No one would do that... So I think I' ve found a
good compromise into my last update, as you see, all html files includes now
the copyright notices. So, is it ok now, or what could I do in the other
case?
Thank you.

Follow-up Comment #39, task #14578 (project administration):

OK, thank you for reading.

I have made some minor changes in it (see the link
http://ndarnis.free.fr/README). Of course, the file I spoke in README file
'FILES.txt' contains the list of doxygen-(covered|generated) files. It' s
easier for me to keep the list into a separated file I can generate each time
I need it (with make fileslit in the doc/html dir). 

If it's look good, I'll do the same for doc/man3/(README, FILES.txt). 

I will also try to add copyright notice into examples generated files, but at
this time I couldn't find how to do it... Examples are not covered by Doxygen
in the same way of other things...

After that, I hope everything looks ok for you.

Thanks again.

Not licenses. I was speaking about copyright notices.

You suggested including this notice:

Follow-up Comment #33, task #14578 (project administration):

> Do you mean adding the lines I suggested in the doc/html/README could be
enough ? 

I mean that the copyright lines are OK, but for the license notice it would be
better if you used the text that you use in your source files.

> For the copyright and licences notices in the generated HTML files, they are
already in the files now, in a "copyright" section.

Files like doc/html/gdsl__bstree_8h.html do have them, but not files like
doc/html/examples.html

> I have understood I should also add the doxygen-gererated files list in the
doc/html/README (and I suppose into doc/man3/README too), I will do it.

The requirement is: all files should have appropriate notices; those notices
should be embedded when the format allows; when the format doesn't allow that,
the notices should be written in README.

The list of the files is needed to unambiguously link the files with the
notices.

Follow-up Comment #32, task #14578 (project administration):

Thanks for your help, but its not enough clear for me (I'm sorry, but english
is not my native language, and my level is limited). 
Do you mean adding the lines I suggested in the doc/html/README could be
enough ? 
For the copyright and licences notices in the generated HTML files, they are
already in the files now, in a "copyright" section. So what I should do more ?
Adding the lines I talk above ?
I have understood I should also add the doxygen-gererated files list in the
doc/html/README (and I suppose into doc/man3/README too), I will do it.

Thanks for clearing this points, once fixed, I'll regenerate another tarball
on the usual http target.

Follow-up Comment #31, task #14578 (project administration):

The copyright lines seem good; since Doxygen doesn't specify the version of
the GPL, I think you may use the GPLv3+, and add the same license notice you
use for your package.

It's still would be desirable to have copyright and license notices in the
generated HTML files, and to list the files copied from Doxygen in README.

Follow-up Comment #30, task #14578 (project administration):

You're perfectly right, that is not the question.
I took a look in doxygen doc and its stated that "Documents produced by
doxygen are derivative works derived from the input used in their production;
they are not affected by [doxygen license]." So, could you tell me if adding
this header in the doc/html/README file looks fine: 

"
 * The files is this directory, excepted this one and Makefile.am have been
automatically 
 * generated by Doxygen.

I believe that you, as an author of a free package, are responsible for making
sure it's free. If you put anything to your tarball, you should check its
status, which means that you should find out licenses and correct copyright
notices for those files. And if it turns out that those files are proprietary,
you shouldn't include them, because they'll render whole your package
nonfree.

Am I wrong?

All doc/html (png, js, css) files are generated by doxygen. What should I do
for their copyright notice? A note for each of them in the README file is it
sufficient? And, in this case, what kind of note? Should I just write its
generated by Doxygen, copyright by who? I can't figure out by reading
https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/ValidNotices/. So, thank you for your
help because I don't know what I can do at this point for these files...

Follow-up Comment #27, task #14578 (project administration):

I'm afraid they don't follow our recommendations quite strictly. All
copyrightable files should have licensing notices; PNG files in doc/html/ have
none.

Did you check _all_ your files? This is what you should have done to make sure
your distribution follows our guidelines. I'd like to avoid the situation like
you saying in comment #8 that there were no more wrongly attributed files, and
then in comment #26 it appears that there still were.

It seems that the savannah upload file mechanism could not work well in case
of same file name between the current and the previous. That could explain a

As gdsl manpages and html doc are automatically generated by doxygen, it was

Oh, real GNU rules are much more extensive, they include following GNU coding
standards, for instance.

Now, the format of man pages allows copyright and license notices (see e.g.
man less or man gawk), putting them in doc/man3/README won't do. Please figure
out a way to put them in your man pages.

I think there is no more file like this. It was coming from another package
from which I copied it, and my script added the Copyright header... So I
replaced the INSTALL file by one that should be alright (I've not found the
autoconf one, so it's the GSL one, project in which I have contributed).

Thank you again for supporting all this mistakes, but its my first project
onto real GNU rules, and I learn for the next ones.

It's very similar to INSTALL coming with autoconf, but that

Thank you!

All copyrightable files in your distribution should have
valid copyright and license notices; many files in doc/html
have not (if some files have a format that practically doesn't
allow comments, the notices for those files should be written
in the README file located in the same directory).

Also, GPLv2+ notices have an obsolete FSF address,
I recommend replacing it with an URL like GPL HowTo suggests.

Follow-up Comment #1, task #14578 (project administration):

Hello, Nicolas!

All non-trivial files in your distribution should have valid copyright and
license notices .

In your tarball, ChangeLog INSTALL Makefile.am NEWS THANKS TODO
configure.ac gdsl-config.in src/mainpage.h.in
src/Makefile.am src/examples/Makefile.am
many files in doc/ have no license and copyright notices.

README has no copyright notices.

gdsl.spec gdsl.spec.in have no license notice.

Could you fix that?

Small supporting files like INSTALL can use a simple permissive license
;
if the format of files makes it impractical to put notices in them, they
should be written in a README file in the same directory.

Also, GPLv2+ notices have an obsolete FSF address,
I recommend replacing it with an URL
like GPL HowTo  suggests.

 Description: 
The Generic Data Structures Library (GDSL) is a collection of routines for
generic data structures manipulation. It is a portable and re-entrant library
fully written from scratch in pure ANSI C. It is designed to offer C
programmers access to common data structures with powerful algorithms and
hidden implementation. Available structures are lists, queues, stacks, hash
tables, binary trees, binary search trees, red-black trees, 2D arrays,
permutations, heaps and interval-heaps.


 Other Software Required: 
none
