Hi eev,

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

I reviewed your source code and some files have the Copyright and
License notices missing, and other have the License notices truncated,
consider to fix this. Keep in mind that any file with more than ten
lines long should carry on a Copyright and License notices. Maybe you
will want to choice the License notices for programs with more than
one file. In any case be sure to drop the text '(at your option)',
because you choice the GPL v2 or later in your license.

In order to learn more about the GNU GPL, consider to read the 'How
To' about it here:

To avoid any confusion about how to apply a proper Copyright and
License notices, consider to read these URLs too:

    http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices.html

Can you give us more information about why your project cannot be included in
Emacs? and if you tried to include it on Emacs again.

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.
