Hi,

I have approved your project as non-GNU.

You will receive an automated e-mail containing detailed information about the approval.


If you would like to offer your project to the GNU project,
please contact the GNU Eval team, following the instructions at
http://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html.


And please contact the FSF about the copyright assignments, until you sign them, the copyright to the FSF is totally illegal. :-/


If there are any open questions, feel free to ask us.
Regards.

I've updated the README file to include the correct copyright notices (v2.1 or any later) which you pointed out, and now it also states that documentation is under the GNU FDL "v1.2 or any later". Also, all file headers now refer to v2.1 of the license, instead of v2 - a mistake of mine.

I will put the "licensed under the FDL" into the documentation files once the docs are more than just a few lines of plain-text (which is the current state).

I didn't yet sign the copyright assignment papers, which was because I couldn't find any pointers on how to do it anywhere on the FSF site. But thanks for the link, I'll get on with the process ASAP.

The tarball now should contain all the changes you recommended.

Regards
 Sašo

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

At first about your README:
"The library is released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General
Public License (LGPL) v2.1."

Licensing under the "GNU LGPL v2.1 only" is problematic.
Would you agree to license your project under the "GNU LGPL v2.1 or later"?

The reason for this is that when we publish LGPL v3,
it will be important for all LGPL-covered programs to advance to LGPL v3.
If you don't put this in the files now, the only way to port your program to LGPL v3 would be to ask each
and every copyright holder, and that may be very difficult.

We can explain the issue in more detail if you wish.
If you have concerns about "GNU LGPL v2.1 or later", we'd be happy to address them too.


At second, the license notices in the source code say "version 2 of the License" - is there any special reason you address to version 2 and not 2.1?
There is no problem for us because of the addition "or any later version", it's only a question.


At third, I've seen that you assign your copyright to the FSF, right? Did you sign copyright-assignment-papers?
Please have a look at http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Papers.html#Copyright-Papers



And last, in order to release your documentation properly and unambiguously under the FDL (we prefer this), please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements after the title page of each work.

In addition, if you haven't already, please add a copy of the FDL
(available from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html in various formats)
as a section of your works , and as plain text in a file named 'COPYING' (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt).

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html#SEC4

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-howto.html also covers additional points,
including a smaller notice that you can use in auxiliary files.


Look forward to your updated tarball.
Regards,
