I've  just find out that your license plain text copy was really in
your tarball, but I expected to find a COPYING file.
Accept my apologizes.
~/tmp$ ls              
README                              lgpl.txt
favele-0.7.2/                       services/
favele-0.7.2.tar.gz                 services.tar.gz
functionals.jar                     src/
functionals.tar.gz                  webpublish-0.1.0/
gnome-chemistry-utils-0.1.0/        webpublish-0.1.0.tar.gz
gnome-chemistry-utils-0.1.0.tar.gz

The fact that you met all the requirements was not obvious too me. Now
it is.

Unfortunately, you'll have to resubmit your project, since we do not
keep informations of discarded projects.
