Re: [Savannah-hackers] submission of TCD, a CD player with ncurses interface - savannah.nongnu.org

[Rudy Gevaert]

Hi,

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

Please register your project again and include an URL
pointing to the source code.  The description you gave when
registering will not be read by the general public. If you are still
concerned with privacy, however, you can forward the code to me by
email.

We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to
catch potential legal problems early.  

For example, to release your program properly under the GPL you must
include a copyright notice and statement permitting copying at the
beginning of every file of source code.  This is explained in
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would help
catch potential omissions such as these.
