Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah
(sorry for the delay in replying to your application).

Saying:
   "This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
    it under the same terms as Perl itself."

does not give enough legal protection to your package, to make it qualify as
free software. If you want to release your package with a double license,
as done for perl, you must provide copies of both licenses with your
package, and every source file should show a complete copying permission
statement.

I think it would be easier to just use the GPL and follow the advice
of http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html but it is up to you to
choose your license.

Please register your project once more with the changes mentioned
above.  The way we handle pending projects makes it difficult to keep
track of projects that have been answered but have not been approved
yet, so we erase them and we ask you to register the project again every
time some change has to be done to the registration, and users might
have to register their projects several times.  Thank you for your
understanding.

Some users find it useful to use the big re-registration URL provided in
the acknowledgment e-mail you received after registration.

Regards,
Jaime
