Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

 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.

In addition, if you haven't already, please copy a copy of the plain
text version of the GPL, available from
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt), into a file named "COPYING".

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, I do not understand the following, in LICENSE

        License section :
         - WORM : LGPL License
         - JPGraph : QPL License

         Licenses of Modules, themes and dictionnaries made for WORM
        are chose by the au
        thors.
         Any modification on WORM or JPGraph should be made available
        in the terms of th 
        e LGPL license
        Please read the LG PL License for further informations

Do you provide JPGraph along with your package? We cannot accept to
_host_ a project under this license, which is GPL-incompatible.

Please register your project once more with the changes
mentioned above.  

We cannot track projects that have been answered but not approved, so
we must ask you to register the project whenever you change the
registration. Make sure to apply all changes so you need to reregister
only once.

The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgement of your earlier
registration will direct you to the proper location.

Regards,
