Unless I am mistaken, your code does not contain a complete copyright
notice. Therefore from a strictly legal point of view, gnotary is not
free software. Could you correct the copyright notice at the beginning
of every source file and resubmit your project please ?
Here is an example

Furthermore, it seems that your project is not (yet :-) a GNU Software.
Therefore, could you resubmit your project as `Digital Notary' ? We'll
change the name after it's approved.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.
