Ok, I approve the project using the "no source code" procedure; that means we
provide you an account and will check if everything is ok within one month.
You will receive a mail notification shortly.

We will do that, of course. Currently, we don't have CVS access
(since the machine is broken), so it would be optimal for us if you
can install the CVS tarballs as-is on savannah without public access,
and that only David and I can modify files in the CVS until the
project is in good shape.
Is this possible?

Actually, the otlayout directory is dead code and will be removed
soon...

###### ORIGINAL SUBMISSION DETAILS ######
System Group Name:
-----------------
freetype
Full Name:
----------
The FreeType Project
Type:
-----
non-GNU
License:
--------
GNU General Public License V2 or later
Other License:
--------------
FreeType is dual-licensed with another free license
specific to FreeType (which has an advertising clause
and is thus incompatible to the GPL).
Description:
------------
FreeType 2 is a software font engine that is designed to be small,
efficient, highly customizable and portable while capable of
producing high-quality output (glyph images). It can be used in
graphics libraries, display servers, font conversion tools, text
image generation tools, and many other products as well.
Note that FreeType 2 is a font service and doesn't provide APIs to
perform higher-level features, like text layout or graphics processing
(e.g. colored text rendering, "hollowing", etc.). However, it greatly
simplifies these tasks by providing a simple, easy to use and uniform
interface to access the content of font files.
FreeType 2 is released under two open-source licenses: our own
BSD-like FreeType License and the GPL.
By default, FreeType 2 supports the following font formats:
* TrueType fonts (and collections)
* Type 1 fonts
* CID-keyed Type 1 fonts
* CFF fonts
* OpenType fonts (both TrueType and CFF variants)
* SFNT-based bitmap fonts
* X11 PCF fonts
* Windows FNT fonts
* BDF fonts (including anti-aliased ones)
* PFR fonts
* Type42 fonts (limited support)

Hi,
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.
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.
Additional instructions are available from
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, go
to
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude
Since you are dual-licensing, here is the recommanded notice:
Copyright (C) year1, year2 CopyrightHolder1
Copyright (C) year3, year4 CopyrightHolder2
...
You may copy, modify, and redistribute this file under the terms
of the GNU General Public License version 2 (or, at your option,
any later version), and/or the FreeType License.
[standard GPL notice]
[standard FreeType notice]
You may need to update the notice to refer to the approriate file names that
contain the licenses (I see you added them in docs/).
You can take this opportunity to add some missing notices (for example, in
src/otlayout) :)
Also, some of the documentation files are big and non-trivialm, and should
carry copyright and license notices as well. We recomment the GDFL for
these.
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.
Regards.
