Follow-up Comment #1:

Hi,
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.


At first, please notice that we only host projects that can run on a free
operating system (such as GNU/Linux).

We have adopted this policy because now that completely free operating
systems exist, we do not want to encourage users of those systems to start
using proprietary operating
systems so that they can use your program.

If you are willing to maintain a version for free operating systems, which
work as well as or better than other ports, you can then provide versions for
non-free systems as well.
The idea is that at no point should only-free users be at a disadvantage
compared to users of proprietary software.

Your project should always work equally well in free systems as in any other
version you provide; if you have some modules for non-free systems, you can
delay their release until you have released the free operating system
version.

Do you agree with this policy?


At second, please include copyright and license information in your xml and
your binary files (such as jpg, png), too.
For the binary files, include in their directories a README file and write
their the copyright/license notices for these files down.
For your pdf you should include the tex file, too.

If you would like to release your documentation files (pdf,tex,...) properly
and unambiguously under the FDL,
please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements after the
title page of each work.

In addition, if you haven't already, please add a copy of the FDL
(available from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html in various formats)
as a section of your works , and as plain text in a file named 'COPYING'
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt).

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html#SEC4

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-howto.html also covers additional points,
including a smaller notice that you can use in auxiliary files.


At third, can you include copyright and license in speller/speller*, too, or
ask the author of this to give you a version with appropriate notices.


At fourth, note that Firefox uses the triple license GNU GPL + GNU LGPL +
MPL.

All code hosted at Savannah needs to be compatible with the GNU GPL, so you
have to take care of that issue.



And at last, the ddress 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

Look forward to your updated tarball.
Regards,
