Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

In order to release your project under the GPL or any other license
(zope + python 2.2 license + public domain for instance)
should write copyright notices and copying permission
statements at the beginning of every source-code file, and
include a copy of the plain text version of the GPL
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt). Copy it for instance
into a file named COPYING.

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:

Our aim is to host free software projects, and we want
to encourage the public to think of them as free software
projects.  A project name that says "open" is likely to
encourage people to think of the project as "open source"
instead of "free software".

We would be glad if you accept to use "free" instead of
"open" in your project name.

Please register your project once more with the changes mentioned
above. The way we handle pending projects makes it difficult to keep
track of projects that have been answered but have not been approved
yet, so we erase them and we ask you to register the project again every
time some change has to be done to the registration, and users might
have to register their projects several times. Thank you for your
understanding.

Some users find it useful to use the big re-registration URL provided in
the acknowledgment e-mail you received after registration.

Regards,
