[Savannah-hackers] Project Airstrike in Savannah

[Jaime E . Villate]

Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.
(sorry for the delay; we've had some e-mail problems last week).

In order to release your project under the GPL you
should write copyright notices and copying permission
statements 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 also help you understand the reason behind
thoses recommendations. For example, there is an entry explaining
why the GPL requires including a copy of the GPL with
every copy of the program:
 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude

To host your project in Savannah, you would also have to separate the model
files from the rest of the sources, because we cannot accept Povray model
files in Savannah (they require Povray which is a proprietary product).

When you do those changes, you can register your project again.

Regards,
Jaime

> Submitted Description: Airstrike is a 2d dogfight game inspired by the great
> games 'Biplanes' on the Intellivision and 'BIP' on the Amiga. The player
> controls a WWI biplane and fights other pilots using a variety of weapons. The
> project aims for a playable and polished, network enabled version at first,
> and then an extension of the game to allow for larger and more varied levels
> etc. The engine currently features pixel perfect collision detection and
> physics combined with modular sprite code. The program is written in C, and
> uses the SDL library (see http://www.libsdl.org) for graphics, sound and
> input. It is beeing developed on GNU/Linux, but has already been ported to
> other operating systems. The graphics have been created using the Povray
> raytracer (see http://www.povray.org), and the model files are availiable for
> anyone to modify and improve (under the terms of the GPL). An early version of
> the game can be found on http://www.ifm.liu.se/~ulfek/projects/airstrike
