CC doesn't say its licenses should come with every copy of the licensed work, but it doesn't forbid that; so if the GNU Project say a copy of all licenses should be included in tarballs, there is no real conflict.

Thank you!

pgmfiles.tar.gz an pgmfiles.zip still lack copyright and license notices; readme.txt has no license notice for itself, then, it says that a copy of CC BY-SA should come with the package, but you don't include it in your tarball. At last, there are no valid copyright notices for the images, please check what copyright notices should look like.

As a side note: the GNU Project recommends against using the "BSD license", because in fact there are several "BSD licenses", they are all free software licenses, but they are different. In particular, the original BSD license is GPL-incompatible. To avoid the risk of confusion, you could suggest X11 license.

> Getting due credit if crucial


Sorry, of course, I meant, "Getting due credit is crucial"

Hello, Michael!

As you must know, Savannah is the software forge for the GNU project. Getting due credit if crucial for our mission, so we can't afford offering our limited resources to packages that call our operating system Linux.

Registration Details


  • Name: SimplySetup Beta 1.0
  • System Name:  simplysetup
  • Type: non-GNU software and documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License v2 or later





Description:

This is yet another installer. Why another? Its codebase is based on TKinter and Python only - an end user just needs a base Python installation (>= 2.7) in order to use it. This is crucial for individuals or institutions that have issues using/installing binary files on their machines and need an alternative setup architecture.
The current release supports very basic functionality - a license window, program path creation, and Python scripting to customize the install. It is nominally designed for Windows users as Windows does not support
package management, however Linux/MacOS users are certainly welcome to use it.


Other Software Required:

Python 2.7,Python 2.7 license,Python.org


Other Comments:

This program has NO Windows dependencies. This is by design.
