In order to release your project properly and unambiguously
under the GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy
statements at the beginning of every file of source code (your current headers 
are nonstandard).

In addition, if you haven't already, please copy a copy of the plain
text version of the GPL, available from
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt), into a file named "COPYING".

Additional instructions are available from
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.

The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed.  To learn
why a copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code,
for example, go to
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude

Further, the license you did include, which should be labeled as COPYING, as 
described above, lacks the last section, titled "How to Apply These Terms to 
Your New Programs".

Please use a complete verbatim copy of the license, which may be found
at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt,
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.txt or
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt


For your reference, the files that need the standard GPL header:

        /user/replay.c
        /user/rpld.c
        /user/shared.c
        /user/Makefile
        /kernel-2.4/Makefile
        /kernel-2.4/rpl-2.4-kernelpatch.diff
        /kernel-2.4/rpldev.c
        /kernel-2.6/Makefile
        /kernel-2.6/rpldev.mod.c
        /kernel-2.6/rpl-kernelpatch.diff
        /kernel-2.6/rpldev.c
        /etc-init.d-ttyrpld
        /include/ushared.h
        /include/rpl_ioctl.h
        /include/rpl_packet.h
        /include/dev.h
        /etc-init.d-ttyrpld

If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please provide us with 
an URL to an updated tarball of your project.  Upon review, we will 
reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah.

Regards,
