Hi,

This is not for me personally but we use to look to the source code of 
projects submitted on savannah.

The goal is not to review the quality of the code but just to check the 
legal issues.
For instance, to release a software under (L)GPL you should write 
copyright
notice and license notice at the beginning of every source
code file http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html
In fact, we ask people to do this whatever the license they use. A free 
software's file can be included in another free project so it is 
important to specify the copyright owner and license in each file.

Sure, each step is not to so easy. What we do here is trying to help 
you as we can. :)

You can create a tarball and send it to me and make it available on a 
url. Also, you need to resubmit your project.

If you have any others questions, dont hesitate to write to 
address@hidden or using the support manager.

PS: Note that we also prefer talking about Free Software than Open 
Source. Talking about Free Software permit to insist on ethical issues 
and avoid confusion with non-free licenses that claims to be Open 
Source (open the code is important, let people do something with this 
code is important too - for example, microsoft give access to his code 
to some companies. It's not free software, but for them the code is 
opened) Take a look at this page for a better argumentation 
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.fr.html

Regards,
