Hi,
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.
In order to release your project under the GPL you should write copying
permission statements at the beginning of every source-code file (in addition
to the copyright notices you already have) as explain in
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html You should also choose some free
documentation license for the Kimwitu++ manual.
Please do those changes and register your project again once you are done.
Regards,
Jaime
