Unless I am mistaken, the code in 0.4 distribution does not contain a
proper copyright notice. Therefore from a strictly legal point of view,
your software is not (yet :-) Free Software. You have to include a
complete copyright notice at the beginning of every source file.

Could you fix this in your distribution and resubmit your project please
?

Thanks for your patience.
