Re: [Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of Gnu PlayStation Emulator

[Loic Dachary]

        Hi,

        Unless I'm mistaken, 
http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown/2004/fpse/src/fpse008B1_src.zip
        is not free software. Since 
http://darktears.psxfanatics.com/files/gpse0.01.tar.bz2
        is based on it, you'll need a formal permission of the authors
to release it under the GNU GPL. Do you have such a permission ?

        Please submit your project again explaining how you solved this
licensing issue.

        Thanks in advance,

P.S. Also please use a name that does not include "GNU" in it since your
package is not (yet ;-) part of the GNU project. Otherwise people will be
confused.
