Hi,
We would like to take a look at your source code. Please create a new tarball
with the source code and applying the GPL correctly (see:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html) and when you are done register
your project again. You can give us a URL to the new tarball, or send it
privately by e-mail.
