Hi Heiko Stamer,

I reviewed your source code and you have some little things missing.

As you are going to create a new package with libTMCG you must include
the 'COPYING' file with the verbatim copy of the GNU GPL.

You cannot use a range of years in your Copyright notice, please fix
this issue. To avoid confusions about the Copyright notice consider to
read this URL:

     http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html

The last issue it's that you may want to use the License notice for
programs with more than one file, you can check out this point here:

     http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices.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.

It is very comfortable see that you prefer Savannah, thanks a lot.

Regards,

Jonathan Gonzalez V. <zeus>

Hi Heiko Stamer,

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

Can you provide us with an URL to download your tarball? or if you
prefer you can uploaded here in this tracker.

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

For example, to release your program properly under the GPL you must
include a copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements 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.

Regards

###### ORIGINAL SUBMISSION DETAILS ######

System Group Name:

Full Name:
----------
  libTMCG


Type:
-----
  non-GNU


License:

  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
  The aim of this project is to provide a general purpose library for playing secure card games without a trusted third party. My current work is based mainly on two academic research papers:

1. Christian Schindelhauer: 'A Toolbox for Mental Card Games', Technical Report, http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/schindelhauer98toolbox.html, 1998

2. Adam Barnett, Nigel P. Smart: 'Mental Poker Revisited', Cryptography and Coding 2003, LNCS 2898, pp. 370--383, 2003

The source will be a fork of the already accepted non-GNU project secureskat (http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/secureskat).

Reasons for the necessity to have an own project:

  • The library increases the usability of secure card game protocols for the Free Software community.


  • There are some more applications, e.g. electronic voting with cards or secure multiparty computation in general:


3. Anton Stiglic: 'Computations with a deck of cards', Theoretical Computer Science, 259 (1-2), pp. 671--678, 2001



Other Software Required:
------------------------
  GNU MP Library (libgmp), version >= 4.1
GNU Crypto Library (libgcrypt), version >= 1.2.0
