Hi,

We did not get a response from you, so we deleted your project from the pending queue.

If you would still like to have your project hosted at Savannah, please register it again.

The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgment of your earlier registration will direct you to the proper location where you can re-register your project.

Regards.

Hi,

I am waiting for an answer from you.

If within one week I still do not get a reply, I will remove your project. You will still be able to register it again once you have the time to deal with the registration issues.

Are you still willing to host your project at Savannah? If not, please tell us - we don't bite, and it will make us gain time.

Regards.

Hi,

Firstly, sorry for the delay.


The word "Copyleft" should not be used in your copyright/legal headers. It has no real legal standing. It should say "Copyright" instead.


Secondly, Your legal headers are missing the last paragraph, as per the GNU GPL howto. (The paragraph beginning "You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License").

In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the GNU GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every copyrightable file, usually any file more than 10 lines long.

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

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.

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.


Additionally, your headers do not specify version 2 or later of the GPL, but your submission does. Your current legal headers are a little bit unclear.

Licensing under the "GNU GPL v2 only" is problematic.  Would you agree to license your project under the "GNU GPL v2 or later"?

The reason for this is that when we publish GPL v3, it will be important for all GPL-covered programs to advance to GPL v3. If you don't put this in the files now, the only way to port your program to GPL v3 would be to ask each and every copyright holder, and that may be very difficult.

We can explain the issue in more detail if you wish. If you have concerns about "GNU GPL v2 or later", we'd be happy to address them too.


Finally, not all of the files have legal headers. Please add them to the ones that do not, attributing the appropriate copyright holders.


If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please provide us with an URL to an updated tarball of your project.  Upon review, we will reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah.

To help us better keep track of your registration, please use the tracker's web interface following the link below. Do not reply directly, the registration process is not driven by e-mail, and we will not receive such replies.

Cheers,

Steven

Hi!

Okay, copyright notices added, check uploaded NACRE-2006-05-09-sources.tgz and NACRE-2006-05-09-unix-binary.tgz. Files for site also modified, now they contain notice "Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts." Documents are XML with complex markup and Apache SSI (Apache 2 required), so it is not easy to post them (hope you don't need to review docs and can check all [if needed] over HTTP when all will be uploaded on project site).

Thanks!

Hi!

Thanks! I share GNU GPL and GNU FDL and I'll correct everything you marked.

Updated package will be uploaded in week (about May 9th). Hope it is not too long delay.

Hi,

There is no need to resubmit the registration for a change of name at this time. I have already renamed your system group name to nacre (though it doesn't appear on this page, it does appear on the admin page).


Secondly, the web hosting is accessed by a second CVS repository, and this is activated by default when your project is approved.


Also, in order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the GNU GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every copyrightable file, usually any file more than 10 lines long.

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.

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.

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.


Finally, your documentation (the pdf file, and anything similar) should be released under the GNU FDL or a compatible license.

In order to release your project documentation properly and unambiguously under the GFDL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements after the title page of each work.

In addition, if you haven't already, please add a copy of the FDL (available from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html in various formats) as a section of your works.

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

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-howto.html also covers additional points, including a smaller notice that you can use in auxiliary files.


If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please provide us with an URL to an updated tarball of your project.  Upon review, we will reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah.

To help us better keep track of your registration, please use the tracker's web interface following the link below. Do not reply directly, the registration process is not driven by e-mail, and we will not receive such replies.

Excuse me for delay in response.

I have attached sources, documentation and mathematical description for programs.

Firstly, I need to change project name from QL-lib to NACRE. Hope you can review sources before I register new project with new title.

Secondly, I need to host project homepage (site should contain documents from doc.tgz). Many of Savannah projects have pages at http://www.nongnu.org/, hope you can help me with nongnu-hosting.

THANKS!

Hi,

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


Note that Savannah supports projects of the Free Software movement, not projects of the Open Source movement.

We are careful about ethical issues and insist on producing software that is not dependent on proprietary software.

While Open Source as defined by its founders means something pretty close to Free Software, it's frequently misunderstood.  For more information, please see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html.


Additionally, please include a (perhaps temporary) URL pointing to the source code. Alternatively, you can forward the code to me by email, or attach the tarball to this tracker.

We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to catch potential legal issues early.

For example, to release your program properly under the GNU GPL you must include a copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every  copyrightable file, usually any file more than 10 lines long.  This is explained in http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would help catch potential omissions such as these.

Note that sending code to our repositories is a release, since the code will then be publicly available through anonymous access.


To help us better keep track of your registration, please use the tracker's web interface following the link below. Do not reply directly, the registration process is not driven by e-mail, and we will not receive such replies.

Regards.
