Follow-up Comment #8, task #5413 (project administration): Hi,
Firstly, sorry for the delay. The word "Copyleft" should not be used in your copyright/legal headers. It has no real legal standing. It should say "Copyright" instead. Secondly, Your legal headers are missing the last paragraph, as per the GNU GPL howto. (The paragraph beginning "You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License"). 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. Additionally, your headers do not specify version 2 or later of the GPL, but your submission does. Your current legal headers are a little bit unclear. Licensing under the "GNU GPL v2 only" is problematic. Would you agree to license your project under the "GNU GPL v2 or later"? The reason for this is that when we publish GPL v3, it will be important for all GPL-covered programs to advance to GPL v3. If you don't put this in the files now, the only way to port your program to GPL v3 would be to ask each and every copyright holder, and that may be very difficult. We can explain the issue in more detail if you wish. If you have concerns about "GNU GPL v2 or later", we'd be happy to address them too. Finally, not all of the files have legal headers. Please add them to the ones that do not, attributing the appropriate copyright holders. 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.

Do not reply directly, the registration process is not driven by e-mail, and we will not receive such replies.
