If you generated the template html files with a cgi script, you have
have to include it using the cgi module but if this file are generated
by hand need to added the copyright and notice license.

As I wrote you in my last email we deleted your project from the
pending list projects for timeout, you need to resubmit your project,
to continue with the approval process.
