Follow-up Comment #7:

Mario, thanks for your thorough review. I missed some important bits there!

Luiji, auto-generated files are no problem; the document for GNU maintainers
 even says:
"When a file is automatically generated from some other file in the
distribution, it is useful for the automatic procedure to copy the copyright
notice and permission notice of the file it is generated from, if possible.
Alternatively, put a notice at the beginning saying which file it is generated
from." But it is not a requirement.

Let us know when all changes are done to review the project again in the git
repo.

Follow-up Comment #6, task #10785 (project administration):

Thanks guys!

I am going to fix these things you have suggested before I upload the files.

1) Entertaining Software, Inc. is a real corporation, so I think there will
be no problems with the Copyright.

2) I will restructure the Tarball as you suggested.

3) I will make the README.textile file more like EMACS's. Including moving
the installation instructions into an INSTALL.textile file. All the files are
under the same Copyright (from what I understand Doxygen puts its generated
files under the same Copyright as the input), just to note.

4) I switched from saying Linux to GNU/Linux. I was condering just saying
GNU, because of the projects to port GNU to FreeBSD etc., but I figured saying
GNU/Linux would be more clear to n00b Linux users.

5) The word "commercial" has been replaced with "proprietary".

6) I changed the wording from MIT License to X11-based license. Along with
that, I renamed the file MIT-LICENSE to COPYING.txt.

That's all folks! Thanks for the approval, thanks for the time, and thanks
for the help!

Hi everybody.

As technical limitations don't allow to put the licensing information
inside a file, it must be stated in the README.

A proper example of such README can be found at:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/etc/images/README.
You can take this as the base or make one from scratch.  It must be
clear who is the copyright holder and for which years, and the license
for every file.

The current README.textile don't state Copyright holder and years.

~~

I noticed another problem: README.textile talks about installation in
"Linux".

"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?.  For more information, see
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html.

Regarding "commericial software" please take yourself a moment to read
this: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Commercial.

By the way: The MIT has used several licenses for software, and
several licenses are referred as "MIT license".  I suggest you use a
specific name instead.  More informatio in
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#X11License.

Regards.

Follow-up Comment #4:

Hi Luiji,

There are no outstanding issues, so I am approving your submission. I have
however a couple of suggestions:
* The copyright notice says: "Copyright (C) 2010 Entertaining Software, Inc."
and your login here is the not entirely plausible "Luiji Maryo". We don't
really care who you are, but copyrights should be assigned to some entity
which can later defend them: either a physical person, a group or an
organization.
* The top level directory of tarballs is customarily named like the tarball
itself; so dynarray-0.0.tar.gz should decompress to dynarray-0.0/

You don't need to upload further tarballs as they are just suggestions; just
start using the VCS of your choice here (it seems you use git; me too!).
Welcome, and have fun!



I've approved your project--welcome on board! :-)

You'll receive a mail notification with further instructions shortly.

Happy hacking!

Follow-up Comment #3, task #10785 (project administration):

Hello,

First off: thanks for reviewing this program! I really appreciate it!

All files in doc/dox are generated by Doxygen, so there's not much I can do
about inserting license headers. The README.textile file states that both the
documentation and the software is licensed under the MIT license already

I have attached a new version of the tarball below.

Thanks,
- Luiji Maryo

Follow-up Comment #2:

Hi Luiji,

I am reviewing your submission on behalf of Savannah. There are a few issues
with the project as submitted:
* Some files such as doc/dox/html/doxygen.css or
doc/dox/html/dynarray_8h_source.html do not have any copyright information or
license header.
* Even for binary files, such information should be contained in a README
file (for example in the same directory), including: filename, author and
license. If this information is the same for all files you can just state so.
* Also, it makes our job easier if you can just upload tarballs here instead
of uploading to github.

Can you upload an updated tarball that so we can continue with the review
process? Thanks!

Follow-up Comment #1, task #10785 (project administration):

I've done some changes to the program (i.e. fixed some weirdness in the
README.textile file). Since I might make more changes before this gets
approved, I've created a temporary repository at
.

* System Name:  *dyna*
* Type: non-GNU software & documentation
* License: X11 license



 Description: 
DynArray is a library of C X-Macros for the creation and manipulation of
dynamically resizing arrays. It supports creating arrays holding any types
supported by C, from integers to structs. It might possibly be usable in C++,
including the ability to create arrays of class instances, however it would be
useless in such a medium due to the std::vector class.

Currently DynArray only supports commands for creating, manipulating, and
destroying dynamic arrays, however I plan to add functionality to create
foreach loops and other constructs that are useful in languages that support
dynamically resizing arrays.


 Other Software Required: 
There are no dependencies other then a C89-compatible compiler.
Theoretically, it could work on even pre-standard compilers.


 Other Comments: 
It is licensed under the X11 license due to its small size. Otherwise I would
of GPLed it.
