Follow-up Comment #1:
Hi,
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.
Please remove GIF image files from your project and replace them with an
other format (such as PNG or JPEG).
Because of the patents (Unisys and IBM) covering the LZW compression
algorithm which are used when making GIF files, it's impossible to have free
software to generate proper GIFs. These patents also apply to the compress
program.
For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gif.html.
The address of the FSF has changed, and is now:
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Please update your license notices.
Updates versions of the GPL, LGPL and GFDL can also be found at:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.txt
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt
Please update the copy of the license (usually, the 'COPYING' file) in your
package as well.
You can find some background and a possible migration script at
https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=3766
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.
