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

The following files are GPL incompatible, due to their license:

        compat/inet_aton.c
        compat/inet_aton.h

For more information, please read: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/bsd.html
Perhaps you could find a GPL'd version of these files?


I also noticed these files lack the required GPL header:

        bnetd/storage_cdb.h
        bnetd/storage_sql.h
        bnetd/sql_mysql.c
        bnetd/sql_mysql.h
        bnetd/storage_file.h
        bnetd/sql_pgsql.c
        bnetd/sql_pgsql.h
        bnetd/sql_dbcreator.h
        common/fdwatch_kqueue.h
        common/fdwatch_select.h
        common/w3xp_protocol.h
        common/anongame_protocol.h
        common/sha.h
        common/fdwatch_epoll.h
        common/fdwatch_poll.h
        common/d2char_file.h
        common/sha1.c
        common/version.h
        compat/nls.h
        compat/snprintf.h
        d2cs/handle_signal.h
        d2dbd/handle_signal.h
        win32/service_d2cs.c
        win32/service.c
        win32/service.h
        win32/service_d2dbs.c

Finally, the files you included in zlib/ lack the needed zlib license
(http://www.gzip.org/zlib/zlib_license.html).

After you fix these problems and provide us with a new tarball, containing the 
fixes, your project can be accepted.  Until then, your project will remain 
pending.
