I know, but I forget to replace GIF by PNG. I'll correct it.

Firstly, .html file is `XHTML 1.0 Strict'. XHTML 1.0 allows to use `text/html' mime-type, see W3C XHTML 1.0 TR, section 5.1. So, there are XHTML stuff.

Secondly, there are the text:

==============================
MPFRCPP: The Multiple Precision Floating-Point Reliable Library C++ Interface

[...]

MPFRCPP copying conditions

[...]

MPFRCPP documentation

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.
==============================

It's not enough?..

COPYING file with GNU FDL will be added.

Hello.


At first, 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.


At second, I didn't see any XHTML stuff but the man-html-file which lacks license notices and copyright information. And the tarball lacks the COPYING(FDL) file.

In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the FDL,
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 , and as plain text in a file named 'COPYING' (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt).

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.

Requirements:

  • C++ compiller with realizations of Standard C++ Library and Standard Template Library. (g++)




GMP and MPFR libraries are licensed by the GNU Lesser General Public License.

> source code.


I have posted it after the project registration:
https://savannah.gnu.org/task/download.php?file_id=10212

All sources contain GPL disclaimers. Package contain XHTML-manual licensed by GNU FDL.

P.S. If it is possible, change project title to "MPFRCPP: The Multiple Precision Floating-Point Reliable Library C++ Interface" or just to "MPFRCPP" (see my comment posted at 2006-06-17).

Thanks!

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


We need a detailed technical description that specifies such requirements as programming languages and external libraries.
It should be at least one-half a page.

And please include URIs to your dependencies (with licenses) as well.



Then please include a (perhaps temporary) URL pointing to the source code.
The description you gave when registering will not be read by the general public.
If you are still concerned with privacy, however, you can forward the code to me by email.

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 GPL you must include a copyright notice and
permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every file of source code. This is explained in
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html. Our review would help catch potential omissions such as these.

The title of project should be "MPFRCPP: The Multiple Precision Floating-Point Reliable Library C++ Interface". It was cuted by the Savannah engine while registation. If this title is too long for Savannah, please, change it to "MPFRCPP".

Thanks!

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.nongnu.org/siteadmin/groupedit.php?group_id=8629>


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

Full Name:
----------
  MPFRCPP: The Multiple Precision Floating

System Group Name:
-----------------
  mpfrcpp

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

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

Description:
