You project has been approved.

In order to release your project under the GPL you
should write copyright notice and copying conditions
at the beginning of every source code file, and
include a copy of the plain text version of the GPL
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt copy it, for
instance, into a file named COPYING).

Please follow the advice of 
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html

The GPL FAQ can help you to understand the reason behind
thoses obligations. For example, there is a entry explaining
why does the GPL require including a copy of the GPL with
every copy of the program:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude


Please do so before committing files into your CVS tree.
