Hi Johann,



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



Can you provide us with more information about the license of the

"NMSearch" files? and if you're going to replace them, this will be

done in a short time or it will be it in a long time?



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.



Regards,

###### ORIGINAL SUBMISSION DETAILS ######

System Group Name:
-----------------
  ometah


Full Name:
----------
  Open Metaheuristic
  

Type:
-----
  non-GNU


License:

  GNU Lesser General Public License


Other License:

Description:
------------
  Our project aim to develop a library for the conception, test and use of
metaheuristics.



(Metaheuristics are a class of optimization algorithms. Some classical ones
are genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, etc.)



The main goals of the project are :

1° give a set of tools tools for the conception of metaheuristics on the 
"adaptive memory programming" principle.

2° allow the algorithms to handle classical real-life problems without
modifications of the sourcecode of the algorithms

3° give a set of test tools, for validation



The project will try to use a KISS approach : from the point of vue of a
metaheuristic conceptor, it should be as easy as possible to implement and
use a new method.



The project will be written in ANSI C++, using an object oriented approach.
The first aim is to produce a usable library, with a simple command line
interface. 



An overview of the source code can be found at :

http://nojhan.free.fr/pro/metah_dreo-al_2004.tar.gz

Note that the university of Paris 12 as give its agreement for the
development of a free software. The files named "NMSearch" have a license
that is unclear, but they will be rewritten from scratch to fit the new
library. Other contributors listed in the sources have given their agreement
too.



Note that the project is in itself a major rewrite of the above one.


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  * The C++ Standard Template Library
