Oh, I've just seen that you already addressed point 4 too.
So please forget about this.

Hi there,

Mark wrote in an email:
#Just to be sure, if I read you correctly what I need to do in this regard is:
#1) add "(or any later)" back in.
#2) add the same license note to see.h
#3) add a copyright section to the man page (hopefully we do not need a whole copy of the license again there?)
#4) copyright/license the png images (yes, I created them from nothing) -- Ihad not thought of this (they are not exactly major works of art), will it do to just use the same licence note as found in the .c and .h files?

ad 1) Yes, we kind of insist on this phrase because it ensures legal cross compatibility for each project hosted on Savannah even in the future.

ad 4) We just need a short text explicitly mentioning the rights the receiver of the images has. A short note in "filelist" like:
License and copyright for seeon.png and seeoff.png: 
Copyright (C) Name Date
Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright notice and this notice are preserved.


I see you addressed point 1 to 3 and approve your project now, trusting you to do 4 soon. Welcome on board.

Good luck with your project.


PS: The reason why we are so picky about even minor things like the picture's license is that the review process is usually the only time where we can point out potential problems. So if we have told the maintainer in the beginning, he or she will hopefully keep up this practice in the future while the projects grows in effort and complexity.

Hey Sebastian,

I have updated the source package along the lines outlined in my PM to you...this tarball is available via:

www.intergate.com/~halfcountplus/see  (mispelled in the README!)
seetxt.sourceforge.net

Be sure to look at the one from the website (either of the above) and not the "download" found on the sourceforge project page (sourceforge.net/projects/seetxt/) as I am unable to immediately update this.  Hopefully everything is now in order?

Actually I will add an attachment here too...

Hi Mark,

the COPYING file is for GPLv3 but the submission has GPLv2+ choosen. So I assume the former is right?

Note that we only do not allow GPLv3 only projects. The license notes in the .c and .h files must have the "(or any later)" phrase. (/src/see.*)
Here you can find the recommended text:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html
(Don't forget the copyright line)

The README seems to contain a dead link.

If you provide man-pages, it is good practice to include copyright&license text as well. See for example the bottom of "man ls".

Lastly, please put a text file in the /extra directory which says what copyright&license the .png files in this directory are under.


If you change these things, your project will be approved.
Thank you.

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: See
  • System Name:  seetxt
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License v2 or later





Description:

See is a lightweight, read-only text file viewer capable of displaying unix-style manual pages. It has a number of unique features, such as saving mark-up for viewed files while leaving them unaltered. Document "meta-data" is maintained independently for each user and loaded automatically, allowing you to keep bookmarks and highlights for read-only system files (including man pages) in a simple and intuitive manner. See also does layered finds, regular expression searches, hyper-linked apropos searches, and can be set to monitor an existing file (such as a log) for changes.

See uses it's own local socket server to accept requests from the command-line, allowing easy integration with file browsers and other software.  There's also cross application drag n' drop support, and handy little features that allow you to view the output of shell commands and process the text buffer with an external command (sed, awk, grep, perl, etc.)

See looks nice, takes up a minimum of space and has two gently blinking "toggle lights" on the interface to control the server and file watches.

See is POSIX compliant.



Other Software Required:

gtk+ 2.0


Other Comments:

Version 0.6 is the fourth public release.
