OP=Original Poster.  Just a forum jargon came to my mind. :-)

Um... the FCKeditor site talks about copyleft and non-copyleft license
choices.  The latter licensing option is somewhat close to modified
BSD, but is only provided for a fee.

OK, thinking more carefully, I see no big deal here either. :-)

Here is my proposed follow-up then:
----------------------------------------------

Hi,

I'm reviewing your project for inclusion in Savannah. While doing so
I've discovered a few problems.

The file  pkp.sql  is missing copyright and license notices.  Please
add them as appropriate.

The file  layout/blue/html.php  is missing copyright and license
notices.  Please add them as appropriate, unless the file is generated
using some tool. :-)

Copyright notices refer to author as "pop killer".  It might be wise
to use your real name instead (or a combination like this: Copyright
(C) [years]  John "pop killer" Doe).  Please refer to the following
for details: https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/ValidNotices

The project is hosted at sourceforge already.  Please confirm you are
willing to stop using it after you project is approved for Savannah.
