Hi Kamba Lupeke,

First at all apologize for the delay in my answer, but I miss your
email and I found it today.

You still having the copyright notices missing in many files and
others have the copyright and license notices missing too, please fix
this issue. Remember that any file with more than ten lines long
should carry on a copyright and license notices.

This is a little list with the directories where are files with the
copyright notices or license notices missing, in some case both are
missing:

/sys/admin/js
/sys/admin/css
/sys/skings/default/
/sys/skings/custom/
/sys/locales/
/sys/install/
/

The '/' is the root in your tarball.

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.

Regards,
