OK, I uploaded my git to repo.or.cz

Files like README don't look like generated.

> Does copyright apply to generated files?


It depends.  If I generate a tarball from Emacs sources, it will be copyrighted by the FSF.  If I generate a file with a command like yes | head -n 83521 > file, then it will not be copyrightable; however, even when some file is public domain or uncopyrightable, it's useful to add a note clarifying that.

> For example, I took GNU binutils, I wrote a script that extracts the encoding of ARM64 constants and I put the result to the files arm64-w.inc and arm64-x.inc. Who owns the copyright of these files? Me? Binutils authors? Nobody (because a table of numbers can't be copyrighted)? Please, describe how to properly attribute copyright in cases like this.


Generally, the derived works inherit the copyright status of the works they are derived from.

If you need just Git, you could consider using a simpler service like repo.or.cz.

> A few files in your tarball miss valid copyright and license notices;


The files that don't contain copyright and license notices are generated. Does copyright apply to generated files?

For example, I took GNU binutils, I wrote a script that extracts the encoding of ARM64 constants and I put the result to the files arm64-w.inc and arm64-x.inc. Who owns the copyright of these files? Me? Binutils authors? Nobody (because a table of numbers can't be copyrighted)? Please, describe how to properly attribute copyright in cases like this.

ok, I can fix that.

I intend to use the domain www.ajla-lang.cz as the primary home page of the Ajla project.

But I also need git hosting and I would use Savannah for that - Savannah wouldn't be mirror or backup, it would be the main git repository for Ajla (while the WWW homepage would be www.ajla-lang.cz) - is it OK to use it this way?

A few files in your tarball miss valid copyright and license notices; in those that do include a copyright notice, its form doesn't match what we use.  Please check savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/ValidNotices/.

We don't require all parts of the project to be hosted at Savannah, but we expect that it will be used primarily (e.g. not as a mirror or backup).

Description:

Ajla is a purely functional programming language that has look-and-feel like traditional imperative languages. The return value of every function in Ajla depends only on its arguments. Ajla has mutable local variables and control flow statements (if, while, for, goto) that are known from imperative languages. Ajla doesn't have mutable global variables because they break purity and they may be subject to race conditions. Ajla is memory-safe — i.e. you can't create a segmentation fault in Ajla. Ajla doesn't have garbage collection; it uses reference counts to track allocated memory. Ajla has mutable arrays — if the array reference count is one, it is mutated in place, if it is different from one, a copy of the array is created.
