Re: [Savannah-hackers] submission of Kimwitu++ - savannah.nongnu.org

[Jaime E . Villate]

Hi,
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

In order to release your project under the GPL you should write copying
permission statements at the beginning of every source-code file (in addition
to the copyright notices you already have) as explain in
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html You should also choose some free
documentation license for the Kimwitu++ manual.

Please do those changes and register your project again once you are done.

Regards,
Jaime
