At first, we have got a problem with the statement (./brad.py):
"(copyleft) 2005 by Francesco Anselmo"

Please write "Copyright" instead of "Copyleft".
The full procedure is described in 
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html#SEC4 and
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html.



At second, the files in brad/brad/gui lack information about the Copyright 
of these files.



At third, brad/brad/radiance/cal/README: "The Radiance Software License, 
Version 1.0".
Where we can find this license? The license notices locks like there were taken 
from the
GPL. So did you mean "GNU General Public License" instead of "The Radiance 
Software License"?

And "Copyright (c) 1990 - 2002 The Regents of the University of California" 
could be
problematic.

Is the copyright holder refered to in the copyright notices, a legal entity 
that can be assigned copyright?
If not, you need to add the author(s)' name(s) instead.

Check http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html
for more information, and update your files.



At fourth, the files in brad/brad/radiance/lum lack any information about 
copyright and license.
If you cannot include in the files directly these notices (e.g. if the files 
are binaries), you 
can include a README file in their directories and write there the notices for 
these files down.



Please update your source code again. We look forward to your reply.
