Hi Grigore Enescu Medalin,

I am waiting for an answer from you.

If within one week I still do not get a reply, I will remove your
project. You will still be able to register it again once you have the
time to deal with the registration issues.

As I told you in my last e-mail I asked to address@hidden about
your license, well they answer that the license is GPL-Incompatible
due to terms 5 and 7, maybe you will want to switch to a well know
license such as MIT/Expat/BSD/X11, it is better to use an existing
license rather than write a new one, you can choice a license in this
URLs with a list of GPL-Compatible license:
