I approved the project. It would be good, still, to ask SGI about relicensing fam&libfam, because until then you cannot use any GPLv3 code in your project.

I have changed the license back to GPLv2+ so that it complies.
The software can be downloaded at: http://www.asselstine.com/fileschanged-0.6.7.tar.gz

Hi,

Your project complies with the Savannah hosting requirements, but there's a problem with the dependencies: your code is GPLv3, gamin is LGPL v2 or later (so can be used by GPLv3 code), but it looks like fam/libfam is under GPL version 2 and LGPL 2.1 strictly (not "or later"). Thus the licenses are incompatible and the project cannot be legally distributed.

I think this would be a good time to ask SGI about releasing fam/libfam under the next versions of their licenses.

What do you think?
