        Hi,

        Could you please include in your skeleton the full text of the
GNU GPL and apply it (as described at the end of the GNU GPL itself)
to the files in the skeleton ? I know it may seem a bit overkill for a
skeleton, but it will be done once for all and you'll be able to
forget about it.

        Please submit your project again when you're done.

        Cheers,
