Follow-up Comment #9, task #9014 (project administration):

Okay, the below changes are fine, except instead of making using the

I am not sure about this one, because it says that is under the same license
as gphpedit package which to me does not serve the purpose of the license
notice.

These changes worry me, because they are the copyrights of some other people
not associated with your project.

I did look at the new tarball and I did notice the changes. I was trying to
say that I think that those changes to the gtkscintilla files and the idea of
adding the BSD licenses for the authors of the scintilla files are not good to
do. This is my opinion.

If you do not think it would harm the project to remove the gtkscintilla and
scintilla directories, then please do.

I think it would be a better idea to look at the position that you may have
to rewrite this project anyways because there are few dependencies that might
need upgrading to the new versions.

Gnome VFS is going through deprecation
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gnome-vfs-2.0/

GTK+, GTKHTML, libgnomeui are actually LGPL.
