In order to release your project properly and unambiguously 
under the GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy
statements at the beginning of every file of source code.

Most of your elisp files does not contain the right copyright notices
and permission-to-copy header.

Additional instructions are available from
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.

The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed.  To learn
why a copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code,
for example, go to
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude


Also,  please remove GIF image files from your project and
replace them with an other format (such as PNG or JPEG).

Because of the patents (Unisys and IBM) covering the LZW
compression algorithm which are used when making GIF files,
it's impossible to have free software to generate proper
GIFs.  They also apply to the compress program.

Here are the files that need to be removed:
./doc/graphics/caution.gif
./doc/graphics/.xvpics/homebanner.gif
./doc/graphics/.xvpics/page.gif

If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please provide
us with an URL to an updated tarball of your project.  Upon review, we
will reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah.
