Hi,

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

I see that the BWidgets is not under the GPL but is gpl compatible.
Therefore we can accept your project.

However, I ask you to include the license text of the BWidgets library
in each file of that library.

People could now think it files are under the GPL... when they didn't
see or read the LICENSE.txt file of the library.

I have approved your project.  You will receive an automated e-mail
containing detailled information about the approval.

I have faith in you that you will include the license text of the
BWidgets library in each file of that library before uploading it to
Savannah.

I have also forward your request to be included into the GNU project
to the responsible people.

Regards,
