Hi Karl, hi Paul,

I have picked up this submission and I'm approving it right away. The reasons to do so are that GNU gzip has been part of GNU for quite some time already and I put my trust in you to fix licensing niglets ASAP. Additionally, I'm quite sure that actually accepting the project will probably make exactly that work a bit easier.

In short that means that I have approved your project.  You will receive an automated e-mail containing detailed information about the approval.

Regards,

Stephan

  <https://savannah.gnu.org/siteadmin/groupedit.php?group_id=8884>


REGISTRATION DETAILS


Full Name:
----------
  GNU gzip

System Group Name:
-----------------
  gzip

Type:
-----
  Official GNU software

License:
--------
  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
  Paul Eggert is now the maintainer of the long-moribund gzip, and I am doing what I can to facilitate it.  We'd like to set up a savannah project as usual for it.  Any problems?

The last (ancient) official release of the software is at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gzip, as if you didn't know :).  Of course we will fix licensing niglets, etc., of which I'm sure there are some.  gzip predates the extensive checking we do nowadays by a good many years.

Other Comments:
---------------
  gzip is an official GNU package, needless to say.
