Follow-up Comment #4:
Hi,
There are a couple of problems with your submission, which I've outlined
below.
Firstly, 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.
Secondly, in order to release your project properly and unambiguously under
the LGPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements at
the beginning of every copyrightable file, usually any file more than 10 lines
long.
In addition, if you haven't already, please include a copy of the plain text
version of the GNU LGPL, available from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.txt,
into a file named "COPYING". Your submission is currently missing this file.
If some of your files cannot carry such notices (e.g. binary files or
audio/image files), then you can add a README file in the same directory
containing the copyright and license notices. Check
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html for further
information.
For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html#SEC4.
Finally, 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.
Please update the copy of the license (usually, the 'COPYING' file) in your
package as well.
Updated 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
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.
To help us better keep track of your registration, please use the tracker's
web interface following the link below. Do not reply directly, the
registration process is not driven by e-mail, and we will not receive such
replies.
Regards.
