Hi.

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in GNU Savannah.
You can reach the rest Savannah hackers (Staff) in this list:
http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers-public.

I noticed some issues with the tarball you submited:

Some files ("__terp__.py") carry only the Copyright notice but lack
licensing information.

If possible, please remove the "All rights reserved" statement.  It's
unnecessary and confusing.

The tarball is a set of zip archives.  I'ts customary to put the all
files inside a top directory before tar-ing'em instead of using zip
archives.  Double compression/archiving generally is just troublesome
and won't further reduce the size.  This is not a requirement at all
but is adviced to avoid the users the need to create a new directory
before unpack the tarball.

Also please note Savannah's mission is to host free software projects,
and we want the public to think of them as free software projects.
It's not relevant for us whether a license has been "OSI Approved",
but whether it free as in freedom.  Please see
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html for
more information about the issue.  There is a classified list of some
free licenses in http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the
GNU GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy
statements at the beginning of every copyrightable file, usually any
file more than 10 lines long.

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.

If some of your files cannot carry such notices (e.g. binary files),
then you can add a README file in the same directory containing the
copyright and license notices. Check
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html for
further information.

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
httpp://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please fix this issues and provide a updated tarball.  You can ethier
attach it to the tracker or use an external hosting and provide a
*direct* download URL.

Regards
