[Savannah-register-public] [task #10874] Submission of Linterna Magica

[Alex Fernandez]

Follow-up Comment #3, task #10874 (project administration):

Hi Ivaylo,

Sorry for being so terse. The license headers must be applied to every file,
even those which are not source code. Remember that you have to give
permission to distribute the whole package, not only the source code. So:
HELP, INSTALL, README, TODO and WEBSITES should contain the copyright "header"
somewhere (it can be at the end of the file, and in fact it is the recommended
place). It should be enough with the COPYING file (and probably a note in the
README), but keep in mind that people might distribute individual files from
the package (yes, even the documentation) and lose the connection with the
license file. Also, this helps acknowledge that all files are under the GPL,
for the paranoid corporate lawyer. Here in Savannah we want to be on the safe
side, giving our users (and possible redistributors down the line) maximum
guarantees that this is indeed Free software.

The .ogg file should be also placed explicitly under the GPL; it is best to
show copyright information in the README file: "pronounce linterna
màgica.ogg is (c) 2011 Ivaylo Valkov; it is distributed under the GPL."

Take your time, and update the new tarball when you are ready.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Alex.
