Hi,

In order to release your project under the GPL you should write copyright
notice and license notice at the beginning of every source
code file, please follow the advice of
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html

Could you resubmit once this is done (you can do this copying the big re-registration link provided in the mail you get when you have registered) ?

Regards,

A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org.
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden


Tom Jakubowski <address@hidden> described the package as
follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: Puffin MUD Client
System name: puffin
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

Description:
Puffin is a sciptable (TCL? Perl? Guile?) MUD client geared towards
LPmuds. It is currently in the very early stages of development (I had
a
sort of working model earlier, but rm\'d it by accident. grr),
meaning,
there is very little code done. :>

Puffin is based on the principle that the more easily customisable,
the
more flexible, and therefore the better. All of the low level
functions
(the framework for the UI, sockets, and the embedding of the scripting
language itself) are handled at the compiled, C side. The rest (how
both
input from the user and the MUD is processed/displayed, aliases,
triggers, colour support, etc.) is done via the script. This has three
advantages:

- The user need not recompile for most changes.
- The user need not know a complex language like C to customise his
client; all he needs to know is a simple (yet powerful) scripting
language.
- The ability to get many features from other people, easily. If the
majority of features were implemented on the compiled side, the user
could not easily implement a friend\'s customisation (they\'d have to
use
cvs or apply a patch, which is sort of iffy). Using this system, the
user could just add the script to Puffin\'s list, and poof! It works
(assuming the script is written correctly)


Other Software Required:
- The Ncurses package.
- The language(s) used for scripting need to be installed.

Other Comments:
The tarball that\'s available was what I was able to hack together in
the spare time I\'ve had since the request for resubmission. There
*was* more, but as I said, it\'s gone now.
