[Savannah-hackers-public] slightly confused on admitting pending projects

[Nicodemo Alvaro]

In GSL-Shell, the claims to be distributing Lua source. He made some
modifications to the lnum code. The original Lua files point to
another lua file which points to the end of it's file to find the
license notice for the files. Shall, I tell him to take the  notices,
from the original file and add it along with his copyright to the
files he edited, and leave out the other files? Or would a patch be
more reasonable?

Additionally, he claims to need the lua config file customized for his
specific environment. I would think he should not distribute those.


>From sv-problem-copyright-holder
Is the copyright holder referred to in the copyright notices, a legal
entity that can be
assigned copyright? If not, you need to add the author(s)' name(s) instead.

What exactly is meant by "add the author(s)' name(s) instead". I've
found some files, which will say something like "By Who Ever". I don't
think this is what is meant, so it needs to be a little bit more
clear.

I have approved some projects without asking whether they were still
interested in making savannah their home. Last, time I tried to ask if
they were still planning to use savannah, a person sort of got angry
with me.
