Re: [Savannah-hackers] submission of Programming from the Ground Up Book - savannah.gnu.org

[Loic Dachary]

        Hi,

        We ask authors to apply licensing information before uploading to
Savannah. Could you please do that ? It should be a matter of minutes.
When you're done please submit your project again.

        Thanks for your understanding,
