Re: [Savannah-hackers] submission of aewm window manager - savannah.nongnu.org

[Jaime E . Villate]

Hi,
I'm evaluating the aewm++ project for approval in Savannah.

In order to release your project under the GPL you should write a copyright
notice and the complete (3 paragraphs) copying permission statement at the
beginning of every .cc source-code file, and include a copy of the plain text
version of the GPL (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt you can for instance
replace the LICENSE in your package with this).

Please follow the advice of http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html

The GPL FAQ can also help you understand the reason behind
thoses recommendations. For example, there is an entry explaining
why the GPL requires including a copy of the GPL with
every copy of the program:
 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude

When you are done doing those changes, please register your project
again. This will also give you a chance to write down the missing
++ in the project name :-)
If you want to, instead of uploading the new version in Sopurceforge,
you can just e-mail me a copy of it.

Cheers,
Jaime
