Hi Steven,

thank you for your wished answer.

As you requested, I updated the license text and the FSF address, and renamed Library to Lesser in git HEAD.

The problem are the binary files: those images are included by the gtk-doc package when I autogenerate the docs from the sources. I don't have (and I don't want) any authority over them, also because they could be easily overwrote by the client system if the doc rebuilding is forced.

Practically all GObject based libraries distribute them and nobody care about license issue on these icons.

Hi,

I'm sorry it has taken so long to get back to you.

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.
I've found a couple of issues with your submission that are described below.


Firstly, if some of your files cannot carry such notices (e.g. binary files), then you can add a README file in the same directory containing the copyright and license notices. Check http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html for further information. For example, the image files in the doc/html directory of your tarball should be accompanied by such a README.

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html#SEC4.


Secondly, the address of the FSF has changed, and is now:

  51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA

Please update your license notices.

Please update the copy of the license (usually, the 'COPYING' file) in your package as well.

Updated versions of the GPL, LGPL and GFDL can also be found at:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.txt
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt

You can find some background and a possible migration script at https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=3766


Finally, the name "GNU Library General Public License" is depreciated. The name is "GNU Lesser General Public License". Please update your files.

I have approved your project.  You will receive an automated e-mail containing detailed information about the approval. Please ensure you make the changes before uploading any code to Savannah.

Regards.

Registration Administration


While this item will be useful to track the registration process, approving or discarding the registration must be done using the specific Group Administration page, accessible only to site administrators, effectively logged as site administrators (superuser):



Registration Details


  • Name: GContainer
  • System Name:  gcontainer
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: GNU Lesser General Public License





Description:

gcontainer is a little library that integrates glib-object providing generic container management interfaces and some basic implementation.

It closely follows the glib format, so it is coded in plain C using GNU coding style.


Other Software Required:

glib-2.0, LGPL-2, http://www.gtk.org/


Other Comments:

Actually the project is hosted on sourceforge but I want to move gcontainer as away as possible from it, also because (in a far future) I would migrate my revision system to git.


Tarball URL:

http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gcontainer/gcontainer-1.99.2.tar.bz2
