Hello assaf,

I uploaded an updated archive with the corrections requested to clear theses issues :

1. It was not intention, something went wrong with my archive.

2. I added a copyright notice to every files in the archive, except for the data/sample.xyz file which is a data file. I added its copyright notice in a README file within the data folder.

3 & 4. I removed the data from IGN and created a sample data file from scratch. Although IGN data seem to be free, I couldn't find an english version of the licence.

Thank you!

Hello,

Thank you for submitting a new project to host on GNU Savannah.

To comply with the hosting requirements, all files have a clear copyright statement and license notice:
(see http://savannah.gnu.org/register/requirements.php and
http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/HowToGetYourProjectApprovedQuickly )

There are few issues:
1. The file 'alti.c' does not seem like a text source code file. Is that intention?

2. The file 'makefile' does not have a copyright statement or license notice.
please add them. Instead of GPL you might prefer the GNU All Permissive license ( http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices-for-Other-Files.html ).

3. Proprietary data format can not be hosted on GNU Savannah - please remove the "Word" document (or use a free file format).

4. The license for the included data files is in French ( http://www.ign.fr/institut/activites/lign-lopen-data ) - and therefor I can not confirm that it is compatible the GNU Savannah's license requirements of free licenses (more so when it seem to use the word 'Open' (as in "l'Open Data"), when "open" is a problematic term when used in the context of "free software" and "free licenses" (see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.en.html#Open ).
Please provide a license in English, or a credible source to show this license is indeed free.

Please  upload an updated archive to savannah to continue with the submission process (using the form at the bottom of this page: https://savannah.gnu.org/task/index.php?13706 ).

regards,
- assaf
