Hi,

The Makefile of libspiralcore does not have any notice and the
SConstruct and setup.py of noiseweapon also do not have notices.

But, I hope you will fix those issues. So I have approved
livenoisetools for inclusion in Savannah.

Also, the license of portaudio is free and GPL compatible :).
I saw in the project page of fluxus that it also depends on
opengl. Does fluxus work with free opengl implementation such as Mesa?
SGI says that their license is liberal but it is non-free.
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html). So, SGI's
opengl implementation is unacceptable.

Thanks,

Alaska Subedi
