Follow-up Comment #4, task #13613 (project administration):

Hello,

The issue of where to put the license is secondary.
The main issues are the licenses:
1.
The project must include the "or-later" statement when using GPL.
This must be mentioned whereever the license is mentioned (preferably
in every source code file, or less recommended - in a README file).

2.
"CC BY-NC-SA" is not a free license, and files using such license can
not be hosted on GNU Savannah.
If you want to host the art files on GNU Savanna, please change the license
to a free license (e.g. to CC BY-SA or CC0).


Regarding where to put the license:
Every file hosted on GNU Savannah must have a clear copyright statement and
license notice.
It is highly recommended to put the copyright and license text in *each*
source code file.
One advantage of putting them in each file is that if users want to use a file
from your project,
the license of that file is clear, since it is emdedded in the file itself.

Since your 'release' file auto-generated shell script, there should not a
technical problem
if there are biolerplate text of copyright and license throughout the file.

regards,
 - assaf
