Hello Ineiev,

unfortunately, the files your' re speaking about, are not mines... So it would be probably not easy to change them to fit savannah needs. I will see and let them you know when done.
Thank again for your help.

Hello, Nicolas!

In doc/html/jquery.js, copyright and license notices aren't specific enough, e.g.


Copyright (c) 2009 AUTHORS.txt (http://jqueryui.com/about)


One shouldn't rely on URLs, the texts they contain may change (and the server may shutdown).


Released under the MIT, BSD, and GPL Licenses.


  • Short licenses should be written in the files that use them.
  • "BSD" may refer to different licenses, some of them GPL-incompatible.
  • The version of the GPL isn't specified.
  • What does the combination of the licenses mean? May all code in question be used under any of them? Does each license rather apply to its parts of code?


Files like doc/html/resize.js use an ambiguous license notice;
I suggest using the recommended form (see comment #36).

I' ve double-checked all files under doc subdirs.
I' ve distinguished two cases: files embedded by Doxygen and files generated by Doxygen. The copyright notice of such files is now relative to this distinction. I suppose its now more accurate of Savannah needs. Thank you for your help.
File gdsl-1.8.tar.gz updated at its usual place.

Sun 20 May 2018 07:25:54 PM UTC, comment #74: 

This file is automatically generated by doxygen. Maybe I've badly understood doxygen license. I have understood that doxygen license does not apply on generated files, instead, the right license that applies on generated file is the main package license, so I' ve concluded its mine... If its not the case, which licence do you think I should use for this file (and others in the same conditions): GDFL, doxygen, other?
Thank you for your help.

Sun 20 May 2018 07:16:38 AM UTC, comment #73: 

I've just looked into doc/html/resize.js. It doesn't seem to include anything specific to your package. May you really claim your copyright for it?

First, I' ve obvsiously fixed the wrong licence added in the doc/html/jquery.js. Second, I' ve worked for making generation of doc/html, doc/man3 and doc/latex decorelated. This allow me to specialize them in an easiest way than before. I' ve also modified README files under doc/ to explain which files are covered by which license. And I' ve tried to use GFDL v3 for all doc/. I think its in a better way... Thanks for your regards. (Archive just uploaded at its usual place).

Sat 14 Apr 2018 04:34:27 PM UTC, comment #71: 

Documentation should be released in GFDLv1.3+-compatible way.

Some notices don't seem valid: for example, Dimitri van Heesh has nothing to do with doc/html/jquery.js; also, the notice like "documents produced by doxygen... are not affected by this license" is confusing: why do they contain that notice, then? And what notices actually apply to them?

Well, I'm not pardonable: I have totally forgotten to do the same job (than for js and html) for css files... :( I'm sorry, its now fixed in the last archive. I have also replaced the original GDSL licence notice by doxygen one in the files above (css, js and html) because they are generated by doxygen.

I think yes, I did take time to see the latest archive.

Thu 22 Mar 2018 05:24:35 PM UTC, comment #67: 

It looks like your code sometimes adds invalid notices, e.g. it may say that a third-party file is copyrighted by you.

Some files still have no notices.

I've just noticed another issue: Savannah requires that the hosted packages release their documentation in an FDL-compatible way. The GPLv3+ isn't compatible with the GFDL1.3+.

I think if your package must be released in a way that doesn't comply with Savannah policies, it shouldn't be hosted on Savannah.

I've read the links you sent but its not enough clear to me :-( so:
- as I said in my previous post, I' ve already removed html filenames from the html/README as you ask me to do, because HTML allow comments and the copyright notice is in each html file
- I know JavaScript allow comments, but Doxygen don't allow to overwrite these autogenerated files, so I must left the js filenames in the html/README to make them covered
- I' ve left the man.3 filenames in the man3/README because I consider that this format does not allow comment inside. 
Tell me if its looks good or if something else must be fixed.
The usual link is up-to-date.
Thank you.

Did you read the document ValidNotices links to, http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Legal-Matters.html ?

It doesn't distinguish formats that are raw-readable and readable with some tools for the purpose of putting the notices in README rather than in the file itself, what it does distinguish is formats that allow comments with notices and formats that don't.

Wed 21 Feb 2018 04:41:57 PM UTC, comment #62: 

You told me on the 02-13 that HTML files names should'nt be listed in README. OK, I've now removed them.
I' ve just tried to explain that I've choosen to list them in the README file because of their "non-humanily-readable state". I mean I'm distinguing 2 possibilities:
1. a file hold a copyright notice intended to be read by human without any interpretation (like command more on a raw text file)
2. a file hold a copyright notice NOT intended to be read by human before interpretating the file with a tool (as for html, or man.3 files).
So my decision was according to the following method:
for the first case, I' ve not listed those files in README (because the notice can be read without any effort), but I've listed the files described in second case in the README because their notice could be difficult be read (as for man3, and for HTML as I thought). I've understood on the 02-13 that you mean to remove HTML files from the README, so I conclude their notice is human-readable at your eyes. So my question was, must I do the same for man.3 files (ie. remove their names from the README)? IMO it could be strange because the man.3 files are very less readable without using a tool... I hope I'm enough clear. Thank you to tell me.

Hello, Nicolas!

I'm not sure what you mean. I believe it's readable.

What about the main point, HTML and JavaScript files having no notices in them?

Thu 15 Feb 2018 03:29:15 PM UTC, comment #60: 

I've intentionnaly left all html files names in the README in html/ subdir (as for .3 files under man3 dir), because I thought the notice was not intended to be read without interpretating html files (resp. man3 files). So, as you mentionned, I've now removed all html files names from the html/README. As the copyright notice is less readable in raw man3 files under man3/ dir, its not clear if I must do the same or if I left man3 files listed in README...
Could you tell me that please?

Nicolas Darnis <ndarnis>
Tue 13 Feb 2018 01:51:01 PM UTC, comment #59: 

It looks like the progress is not very great.

doc/html/README mentions HTML files; they shouldn't be listed in README,
they should include the notices themselves.

README is a fallback only for those files that don't allow comments
like images. HTML and JavaScript files do.

Wed 31 Jan 2018 04:04:30 PM UTC, comment #58: 

Well, I'm totally confused...
The uploaded file was not the good one 8-( (easy visible because I made a big change in man pages generated by doxygen to avoid lack of copyright in some separated files).
I've just re-generated a good package after re-checked all files (all have a copyright or are listed in a README with a copyright note). I've uploaded it and this time, I checked the uploaded file itself. So now, it seems to be less probable that something can goes wrong again...
With my kind regards.

That's good (I assume that the rules are quite clear); but then, it's a responsibility of package maintainers rather than Savannah admins to make sure that the rules are enforced. In particular, you should check whether every file has valid notices. Did you do that?

Roughly speaking, one may get an impression that we are discussing package compliance against my personal opinion about Savannah policies.

However, those rules seem quite unambiguous to me: all files should have valid copyright and license notices in proper places. Do we agree that the rules are clear and don't allow multiple interpretations?

Mon 18 Dec 2017 03:29:32 PM UTC, comment #52: 

OK, so I have successfully added an html comment with copyright notice in all doxygen generated files (with HTML_HEADER). So, even toc files (like examples.html, modules.html or files.html) on which I can't decide their content, does now have the notice in html comments... I' ve also added the list of doxygen copyrighted files in man3/README and latex/README.
I hope it's OK now, just tell me if you find another thing to do...

Thu 14 Dec 2017 01:28:52 PM UTC, comment #50: 

Do you think it's ok if the copyright notice in html files is written in html comments only (between <!-- / --> tags)? So, the notices will not be displayed within an html interpreter as a navigator (excepted for the main html page for example), but only be readable with raw/source html file display?

Thu 07 Dec 2017 08:31:49 AM UTC, comment #45: 

In the last tgz I uploaded yesterday night, the HTML files does include copyright notices... It was not the case in all other archives before. I found the way, by using good doxygen tags and by using some tricks (as modifying the src/mainpage.h.in file) to include the notice in these files... and I was glad to find it has worked well. When doc is generated by doxygen, you are dependant on it and you cant do what you want in the generated files: you can only use doxygen tags, as I did.
Does the generated html files are now correct for you since they include the copyright notice now? If not, could you show me an example of what you expect?
Thank you.

Nicolas Darnis <ndarnis>
Thu 07 Dec 2017 08:20:04 AM UTC, comment #44: 

I see no fundamental reason why HTML files can't be generated with the notices included. Texinfo does include them in its output.

Thu 07 Dec 2017 08:08:28 AM UTC, comment #43: 

I dont understand the goal of you last post.

You're right, but as I said, all html/ and man3/ files are generated by Doxygen, and I don't want to have to modify them once they' ve been generated... Its a lack of time and a huge and risky work: each time a source file is modified, doc must be regenerated, and then all generated files should be manually modified too... No one would do that... So I think I' ve found a good compromise into my last update, as you see, all html files includes now the copyright notices. So, is it ok now, or what could I do in the other case?
Thank you.

Nicolas Darnis <ndarnis>
Thu 07 Dec 2017 07:12:35 AM UTC, comment #42:

Thu 30 Nov 2017 01:32:21 PM UTC, comment #39: 

OK, thank you for reading.

I have made some minor changes in it (see the link http://ndarnis.free.fr/README). Of course, the file I spoke in README file 'FILES.txt' contains the list of doxygen-(covered|generated) files. It' s easier for me to keep the list into a separated file I can generate each time I need it (with make fileslit in the doc/html dir).

If it's look good, I'll do the same for doc/man3/(README, FILES.txt).

I will also try to add copyright notice into examples generated files, but at this time I couldn't find how to do it... Examples are not covered by Doxygen in the same way of other things...

After that, I hope everything looks ok for you.

Thanks again.

Not licenses. I was speaking about copyright notices.

You suggested including this notice:

I mean that the copyright lines are OK, but for the license notice it would be better if you used the text that you use in your source files.

> For the copyright and licences notices in the generated HTML files, they are already in the files now, in a "copyright" section.


Files like doc/html/gdsl__bstree_8h.html do have them, but not files like doc/html/examples.html

> I have understood I should also add the doxygen-gererated files list in the doc/html/README (and I suppose into doc/man3/README too), I will do it.


The requirement is: all files should have appropriate notices; those notices should be embedded when the format allows; when the format doesn't allow that, the notices should be written in README.

The list of the files is needed to unambiguously link the files with the notices.

Thanks for your help, but its not enough clear for me (I'm sorry, but english is not my native language, and my level is limited).
Do you mean adding the lines I suggested in the doc/html/README could be enough ?
For the copyright and licences notices in the generated HTML files, they are already in the files now, in a "copyright" section. So what I should do more ? Adding the lines I talk above ?
I have understood I should also add the doxygen-gererated files list in the doc/html/README (and I suppose into doc/man3/README too), I will do it.

Thanks for clearing this points, once fixed, I'll regenerate another tarball on the usual http target.

Fri 10 Nov 2017 09:43:51 AM UTC, comment #31: 

The copyright lines seem good; since Doxygen doesn't specify the version of the GPL, I think you may use the GPLv3+, and add the same license notice you use for your package.

It's still would be desirable to have copyright and license notices in the generated HTML files, and to list the files copied from Doxygen in README.

You're perfectly right, that is not the question.
I took a look in doxygen doc and its stated that "Documents produced by doxygen are derivative works derived from the input used in their production; they are not affected by [doxygen license]." So, could you tell me if adding this header in the doc/html/README file looks fine:

"

> All doc/html (png, js, css) files are generated by doxygen. What should I do for their copyright notice?


I believe that you, as an author of a free package, are responsible for making sure it's free. If you put anything to your tarball, you should check its status, which means that you should find out licenses and correct copyright notices for those files. And if it turns out that those files are proprietary, you shouldn't include them, because they'll render whole your package nonfree.

Am I wrong?

All doc/html (png, js, css) files are generated by doxygen. What should I do for their copyright notice? A note for each of them in the README file is it sufficient? And, in this case, what kind of note? Should I just write its generated by Doxygen, copyright by who? I can't figure out by reading https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/ValidNotices/. So, thank you for your help because I don't know what I can do at this point for these files...

I'm afraid they don't follow our recommendations quite strictly. All copyrightable files should have licensing notices; PNG files in doc/html/ have none.

Did you check all your files? This is what you should have done to make sure your distribution follows our guidelines. I'd like to avoid the situation like you saying in comment #8 that there were no more wrongly attributed files, and then in comment #26 it appears that there still were.

I don't understand what's going wrong with the upload...
I did exactly the same as usual.
When my post is validated, savannah web site tells everything its ok. I will try again in a couple of days and I'll post a screen-capture thats shows everything looks fine.
What else could I do?

I've found how to make doxygen generating copyright notice for files themselves. I've modified all my src/ header files accordingly and build the new archive joined to this post.
Hope its ok now...

Notices in doc/man3/gdsl_hash.3 doc/man3/gdsl_stack.3 are fine, but files like doc/man3/gdsl_hash.h.3 and doc/man3/_gdsl_bintree.h.3 still have no notices.

As gdsl manpages and html doc are automatically generated by doxygen, it was not very easy for me to find how to add a copyright section... I think I have found a not-so-bad compromise. Just tell me if ok or not.
Thank you very much.

Oh, real GNU rules are much more extensive, they include following GNU coding standards, for instance.

Now, the format of man pages allows copyright and license notices (see e.g. man less or man gawk), putting them in doc/man3/README won't do. Please figure out a way to put them in your man pages.

I think there is no more file like this. It was coming from another package from which I copied it, and my script added the Copyright header... So I replaced the INSTALL file by one that should be alright (I've not found the autoconf one, so it's the GSL one, project in which I have contributed).

Thank you again for supporting all this mistakes, but its my first project onto real GNU rules, and I learn for the next ones.

Thank you!

Are you sure INSTALL is copyrighted by Nicolas Darnis?
It's very similar to INSTALL coming with autoconf, but that
file says it's copyrighted by the FSF.

Are there other such files in your tarball?

Thank you!

All copyrightable files in your distribution should have
valid copyright and license notices; many files in doc/html
have not (if some files have a format that practically doesn't
allow comments, the notices for those files should be written
in the README file located in the same directory).

Also, GPLv2+ notices have an obsolete FSF address,
I recommend replacing it with an URL like GPL HowTo suggests.

Hello, Nicolas!

All non-trivial files in your distribution should have valid copyright and license notices.

In your tarball, ChangeLog INSTALL Makefile.am NEWS THANKS TODO
configure.ac gdsl-config.in src/mainpage.h.in
src/Makefile.am src/examples/Makefile.am
many files in doc/ have no license and copyright notices.

README has no copyright notices.

gdsl.spec gdsl.spec.in have no license notice.

Could you fix that?

Small supporting files like INSTALL can use a simple permissive license; if the format of files makes it impractical to put notices in them, they should be written in a README file in the same directory.

Also, GPLv2+ notices have an obsolete FSF address,
I recommend replacing it with an URL
like GPL HowTo suggests.
