Jonathan,
  Hmmm, I guess I was a little vague there.  Our work is to be licenced under GPL v2 (or later).  Anything coming from the FLTK source that is a derivative work needs to follow their licencing (LGPL).  Looking at this, (http://www.fltk.org/COPYING.php) it seems that if I go with GPL v2 that will be the actual project licence.

So it seems that I should just speak of the GPL.  Does this shound correct?  This would mean that any derivative work from FLTK can be released under the GPL v2 or later and will more than suffice considering their LGPL licencing.

So it is the GPL.  I have made the changes to include only the GPL in COPYING.txt

Mark

Sorry about the delay, when the weather gets nice the paying job gets priority ;).  I had just figured you were swamped after reading the news, thanks for the follow through.

Hi Mark,

My apologize for the delay in my answer but I had some troubles with
my email account.

As I see you fixed the problems that I mentioned, and it's all ok, now
I didn't notice that you put the LGPL in the COPYING file instead the
GPL, you selected the GPL as your project license, can you clarify
more about what license you will use?.

Regards,

Hi Mark,

You have the '(C)' missing in all your copyright notice, please fix
this. Consider the idea of put the copyright notice before the license
notice on the top of the file and not after the license notice.

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.

Regards,

Jonathan,

Thank you for your patience.  You can find the tarball attached or at:

http://www.dbcservices.com/files/gim/source/GIMcontacts.tgz

We hope this will now be complient.  On an up note I have been involved with the fluid UI development and it is now (upon new release 1.1.7) possible to add the GPL notices in any generated code. :)

Hi,

I am waiting for an answer from you.

If within one week I still do not get a reply, I will remove your
project. You will still be able to register it again once you have the
time to deal with the registration issues.

Regards,

Jonathan,

All of the above sounds good.  I will get the updates done and a tarball link to you in the next day or so.

Thanks.

Mark

Hi Mark,

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

In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the
GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements at
the beginning of every file of source code.

In addition, if you haven't already, please include a
copy of the plain text version of the GPL, available from
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt, into a file named "COPYING".

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.

The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed.  To learn
why a copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code, for
example, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude.

Note that Savannah supports projects of the Free Software movement, not
projects of the Open Source movement.

We are careful about ethical issues and insist on producing software
that is not dependent on proprietary software.

While Open Source as defined by its founders means
something pretty close to Free Software, it's frequently
misunderstood.  For more information, please see
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.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.

Regards,

Description:
------------
  GIM - a data back-end designed with modularity in mind

The GIM community project is the brainchild of D Smith and has been advancing by a module I (Mark Roth) have been working on.

A long winded explanation can be found here:
http://www.gidforums.com/t-4093.html

and some of the initial attempts are located here:
http://www.dbcservices.com/cgi-bin/gim/index

The current state (source only) can be found here:
http://www.gidforums.com/t-4897.html

Our intent is to provide data handling with a well documented interface for use by a client program so that no matter what is used for the GUI the interface will be the same and therefore make it relatively easy to provide a graphical GUI, a console GUI etc etc without having to make many changes.  Dsmith (at GIDForums) created a console version of our current module and I (cable_guy_67) have created the beginnings of an FLTK based GUI.  They both provide nearly the same functionality and use the same interface but service two distinctly different audiences.  Our intent is to live under a GPL licencing as described here:
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html

If you have any additional questions ask away. ;)


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  FLTK - The Fast Light Tool Kit home: http://www.fltk.org/

This is released under the LGPL and falls well within our requirements.

Currently that dependency is only for the current working module.  GIM itself has no such dependencies.


Other Comments:
---------------
  We are just looking for a place to help the two currently active developers (myself and dsmith) get our project off the ground and try to generate some interest.  It is more a learning project than anything else.
