- * Use a license compatible with the GNU GPL, and use the "or any later
version" formulation for the GPL.

??changed:
- * GNU GPL-compatible license: your license should be listed as compatible
at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html. You can also use the GNU
Affero GPL, since it is effectively compatible with !GPLv3. For documentation,
we are currently clarifying exactly what licenses we accept. Of course, we
accept our GNU Free Documentation License (and compatibles), even though is not
compatible with the GNU GPL. Do not use a GNU license without the "or any
later version" wording, as that creates future compatibility problems.

- * Write appropriate copyright and license notices, at the beginning
of all of your source files. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html and
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html are good
starting points to understand these issues and provide standard templates;
please use them to speed up approval. More answers at
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html. For the GFDL, check

- * We support the free software movement, as opposed to "open source",
because we are careful about ethics, that is, our primary focus is the freedom
offered to users of free software. Further information at
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html. As a consequence,
we do not accept project with the word "open" in their name; we suggest you
replace it with free instead, or use another project name of your choice.
