[Savannah-register-public] [task #9791] Submission of ForgePlucker

[Nicodemo Alvaro]

Follow-up Comment #4, task #9791 (project administration):

It just recently clicked in my head that the big reason why we require a
clear and precise license notice is that many projects have a file called
COPYING and so this will create a mess when there is a project that includes
your code or vice versa. Does that to you justify the need for the full
modified BSD license notice? If not I still have not received your indication
of why. Have you already submitted it to address@hidden 

For the record, I privately sent you the below message.
