Hi,

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

The package you've uploaded contains some files without license text:
CHANGELOG
GNS3.e4p
README
setup.py
baseconfig_sw.txt
baseconfig.txt
vboxwrapper/tcp_pipe_proxy.py
vboxwrapper/vboxtestcase.py
broker/server2.py
docs/man/gns3.1
src/GNS3/Ui/*.py

Every file more than 10 lines long is considered nontrivial and must include a license notice. For the ChangeLog, you must include the copyright notice at the end of the file.
Please check http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html for more information, and update your files.

The file style.pl has another license, what is it?. Besides, there are some files like gns3, or most files in src/GNS3/ folder that don't have the "or any later version clause" in the license notice. Would you add it?

The reason for this is that when we publish the next version of the GPL, it will be important for all GPL-covered programs to advance to that new version. If you don't put this in the files now, the only way to port your program to the next version of the GPL would be to ask each and every copyright holder, and that may be very difficult.

Finally, I've seen that in your README you refer to GNU/Linux as "Linux". "Linux" is just a kernel of a more complex system that we like to refer to as GNU/Linux, to emphasize the ideals of the Free Software movement.

Would you mind changing references to Linux as an OS to GNU/Linux?

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html.

If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please provide us with an URL to an updated tarball of your project.  Upon review, we will reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah.

To help us better keep track of your registration, please use the tracker's web interface by following the link below. Do not reply directly; the registration process is not driven by e-mail, and we will not receive such replies.
