To release your project under the GPL, you should put copyright notices and copying permission statements at the beginning of every source-code file, and include a copy of the plain text version of the GPL (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt). Put it in a file named COPYING. Please follow the advice of http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html. The GPL FAQ explain the reason behind these recommendations. For example, there is an entry explaining why the GPL requires including a copy of the GPL with every copy of the program: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude Please send me an updated tarball.

Hi, I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

"Linux" is just a kernel of a more complex system that we like to refer to as GNU/Linux, to emphasize the ideals of the Free Software movement. Would you mind changing references to Linux as an OS to GNU/Linux?

[Savannah-hackers] submission of Slackware Source Repository - savannah.nongnu.org
A package was submitted to savannah.nongnu.org This mail was sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tais M. Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: License: gpl Other License: Package: Slackware Source Repository System name: ssr Type: non-GNU Description: The purpose of this project is to ease various source package building for Slackware Linux users. Today, users of Slackware are dependant on official Slackware package releases, on the pre-built binaries on Linux Packages which potentially could have been compromised in some way, or on their own skills at configuring and building packages manually. The project is basically a collection of makefiles crafted to help build and install various packages on Slackware Linux systems, much like the Ports system for BSD. It will automatically download sources, verify, extract, patch, configure, build, package and install/uninstall/upgrade. It will also check and follow package dependencies. Currently basic fetch, build and package functionality is working. About 15 source packages can now be downloaded from their respective mirrors and built by issuing a simple make in the package repository directory. I.e. \"cd ssr/repository/development/pwlib && make\", will fetch the pwlib source tar ball, checksum, extract, configure, build and prepare for packaging. The binary packages are made with Slackware\'s own packagetools, making it a perfect companion for any Slackware Linux system. Basic makefiles and makefiles for the existing 15 sources are available via email if needed (16kb).
