After an evaluation of your project, we are currently unable to accept it due 
to licensing issues.

Your source files, adcd.cc for example, contain a header we will not accept.
The header states:

    First statement. You want the end of all wars and agree that no
    army shall trespass the borders of another state except; a) by
    express petition of the destination State's Government; or, b) when
    explicitly requested by an United Nations resolution.

    Second statement. You agree that Palestinian people have the right
    to their own State, comprising at least one half of all the
    Palestine's land, including one half of the Mediterranean coast of
    Palestine.

This is not the standardized source file header and it makes your software 
less free.  We feel free software should be free for all people.  Your 
header, however, restricts freedom due to the user's individual political 
views.

If you would like your project hosted at Savannah, please consider adopting 
the standard GNU General Public License header.  If you would not like your 
project hosted at Savannah anymore because of this, please write back 
informing us.

If you do decide to adopt the standard header, please write back and we will 
accept your project.

Regards,
