Is your project a documentation project?  The FDL is only for 
documentation...  Please give a brief technical explanation about the 
project (half a page will do).

Will you continue to use the FORGE project?  If not wouldn't it be 
easier that we change the name from forge to fringe.

Also the forge project is under the GPL.

If you don't want the name change, please resubmit your project (with 
the correct license).

In order to release your project under the GPL/FDL you
should write copyright notices and copying permission
statements at the beginning of every source-code file, and
include a copy of the plain text version of the GPL/FDL
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt or 
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt copy it, for instance, into a file 
named COPYING).

Please follow the advice of
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html or
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-howto.html


The GPL FAQ can also help you understand the reason behind
thoses recommendations. For example, there is an entry explaining
why the GPL requires including a copy of the GPL with
every copy of the program:
