Hi,

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



But nevertheless, I have got a strange feeling with your statement:
"Author:       Jose E. Marchesi (jemarch@gnu.org)"

http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html says explicitly, that a
"Copyright (C) year1, year2, year3  copyright-holder"
line is required. Please add it to your source code, too. Thanks.


Regards.

All the problems you pointed out should be fixed now. The updated version is in http://es.gnu.org/~jemarch/downloads/stools-rev.tgz

Thanks.

Hello.
(Response-Mail at our ML; but please use this tracker item, not mails :/)


At first, lib/contrib/mk*/* lack copyright+license notices.

At second, lib/images/* lack copyright+license notices. Please add a README file in that directory and write there these notices down. See also http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html

In that regards, please add copyright notices in /all/ of your source files, too.



Last but not least, 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.

Updates 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

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

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

Hi,
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

At first, please provide us with a tarball. I am not willing to review every file of source code manually, sorry.


At second, note that sending code to our repositories or to es.gnu.org is a release, since the code will then be publicly available through anonymous access.

So please fix licensing issues and the "gif problem" as soon as possible. I cannot go on with your registration sinces these things are fixed.



-----------------------------------------------------------
In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the GPL,
please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every file of source code.

In addition, if you haven't already, please include a copy of the plain text version of the GPL,
available from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt, into a file named "COPYING".

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.

The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed.
To learn why a copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code, for example,
see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude.



Please remove GIF image files from your project and replace them with an other format (such as PNG or JPEG).

Because of the patents (Unisys and IBM) covering the LZW compression algorithm which are used when making GIF files,
it's impossible to have free software to generate proper GIFs.  These patents also apply to the compress program.

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gif.html.

A new project has been registered at Savannah
The project account will remain inactive until a site admin approve or discard the registration.


######### 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):

  <https://savannah.gnu.org/admin/groupedit.php?group_id=8295>


######### REGISTRATION DETAILS #########

Full Name:
----------
  Space Tools

System Group Name:
-----------------
  stools

Type:
-----
  non-GNU software & documentation

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

Description:
------------
  STOOLS (Space Tools) will be a collection of useful software tools for space related activities. It is not a project for space fans, but for professionals of the space sector (like me). The project includes a graphical environment that integrates all the tools.

The tools will include, among others:

 - An SP3 (orbital data file format) graphical editor.
 - Interface with GNU Octave (that will promote the use of
   Octave instead of Matlab, i hope).
 - An orbital mechanics library.
 - An orbital propagator.
 - A geodynamics library.
 - A ionospheric and trophospheric simulator.
 - Support for several interexchange formats used in the
   European Space Agency (RINEX, SINEX, TRONEX, ...)
 - Free libraries to be used on GPS and Galileo systems.


Btw, actually there isnt free software like that.

The program doesnt have a homepage yet. I uploaded the existing code to http://es.gnu.org/~jemarch/downloads/stools/

Other Software Required:
------------------------
  Tcl interpreter and libraries
Tk libraries
MkWidgets tcl metawidgets library
GNU Octave libraries


Other Comments:
---------------
  There are some gif files on the snapshot i uploaded to es.gnu.org. All of the gif files will be replaced with png ones before get uploaded into GNU machines (i am writing quickly and i need to use the img tcl extension to use png files). Anyway, i plan to use a different set of icons.

The source files on the snapshot do not have license notifications. Again, i will add it before to upload it to GNU machines (the source code is not officialy published yet. I uploaded it only for your convenience).b
