That's great news indeed!  Unfortunately I already deleted the submitted project.  Please resubmit your project and I can start evaluating it.

Hi,

Great news!

The original author of XSC has relicensed his code under the GPLv2+ (from gplv2-only)
http://www.panix.com/~mbh/xsc/xsc-1.6.tar.gz

Also, I have introduced a build dependency on SDL and SDL_mixer for sounds.

The sounds are mostly licensed under CC by-sa 3.0 unported.  The licensing details are in sounds/README.

The updated tarball is here:

Hi,

thanks for submitting your project to Savannah! I'm evaluating your project.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept projects licensed under a certain GPL version only.  This is because the versions are incompatible to each other and thus code licensed under different versions can't be intermixed (this includes linking). Since your project is fork of an existing project I guess changing the license won't be very easy, since you would have to ask every author for their approval. However, if you want to undertake this action, I can set this task to “postponed” until you resolve the issue. Otherwise you would have to find another host.

What do you think?

I am trying to contact the original author to get him to relicense to gplv3+ but so far I haven't been able to contact him.
