February 8th 2010 in GNU Savannah task 10128: "Submission of
JackMaster"

I noticed a few problems that must be fixed before approval:

Add Licence and Copyright information to *all* your non trivial files,
that include plain text documentation (INSTALL, README, TODO), and
automake (And friends) input, (*.ac, *.am).

Ethier include the licensing information inside jackmaster16x16.xpm
(As a comment) or put a note in README stating the copyright holder,
copyright years and licence of that image.

There is no configure.ac? did you wrote configure.in directly?.

If there is configure.ac, please include it along with program (In
both tarball and reposotrory) to make easy the modification, if
configure.in is hand-written then please add the licencing information
to it.

The C source have another issues:

This notice is of my concern: "Copyright (C) 1998-2000 Peter Alm,
Mikael Alm, Olle Hallnas, Thomas Nilsson and 4Front Technologies"

First, because it uses year ranges, GNU adivces againsting year
ranges, please state each Copyright year.

Second, All those persons have the copyright for all those years?.  If
not please put state the copyright years for each author individually,
in example:

Copyright (C) 1998, 1999 Foo
Copyright (C) 1999, 2000, 2001 Bar
Copyright (C) 

Third, the idea of a lending/borrowing is exclusive for physical
objects, don't apply for software since you don't "borrow" it, the
author still have his copy, and you have your own copy too, fully
independient and unaffected.  We don't want to spead such fallacy, is
similar to the (mis)explanion of the intellectual "property".

Correct all pointed issues and attach an updated tarball to this
tracker

Once project is approved you may upload tarballs in both bzip2 and xz
(LZMA) if you want to.  I think is silly to use an non-widespread
format like LZMA instead of a de facto one like bzip2 for small
things, such as this (Tarball is bellow 50 KiB with bz2), that is up
to you anyway :).

Regards.
