Follow-up Comment #23, task #5230 (project administration):

Hello.

At first, please remove GIF image files from your project and replace them
with an other format (such as PNG or JPEG).

Because of the patents (Unisys and IBM) covering the LZW compression
algorithm which are used when making GIF files,
it's impossible to have free software to generate proper GIFs.  These patents
also apply to the compress program.

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gif.html.

You should also add a README file in the directory of your image files and
add there copyright+license notices for these files.
See also http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html


At second, the address of the FSF has changed, and is now:

  51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA

Please update your license notices.

Updates versions of the GPL, LGPL and GFDL can also be found at:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.txt
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt

Please update the copy of the license (usually, the 'COPYING' file) in your
package as well.

You can find some background and a possible migration script at
https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=3766



And at last, some of your doc files (.html .py .txt) also lack information
about copyright+license. You should add these notices to /every/ file of your
documentation.


In order to release your documentation properly and unambiguously under the
GPL,
please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements after the
title page of ***each work***.


Regards,
