Update of task #5399 (project administration): Status: Wait reply => Need Info
_______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #6: Hi, Please remove GIF image files from your project and replace them with an other format (such as PNG or JPEG). Because of the patents (Unisys and IBM) covering the LZW compression algorithm which are used when making GIF files, it's impossible to have free software to generate proper GIFs. These patents also apply to the compress program. For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gif.html. In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the GNU GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every copyrightable file, usually any file more than 10 lines long. For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html. If some of your files cannot carry such notices (e.g. binary files), then you can add a README file in the same directory containing the copyright and license notices. Check http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html for further information. The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed. To learn why a copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code, for example, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude. You have not added any _copyright_ notices, and some files are still missing any legal headers. You also mention in your comments that you have "Free software foundation copyright". Have you signed papers transferring copyright to the FSF? Only then would the code be copyright FSF. PLEASE provide us with more information about this. Finally, your doc/ directory contains a copy of the MPL. This is confusing, and I do not see why it is necessary. Please explain this. If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please provide us with an URL to an updated tarball of your project. Upon review, we will reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah. Please make sure you clarify the other points I have asked about. To help us better keep track of your registration, please use the tracker's web interface following the link below. Do not reply directly, the registration process is not driven by e-mail, and we will not receive such replies. Regards. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?func=detailitem&item_id=5399> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
