Hi,
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

Please register your project once more when you are finished doing the changes
mentioned above. The way we handle pending projects makes it difficult to keep
track of projects that have been answered but have not been approved yet, so
we erase them and we ask you to register the project again every time some
change has to be done to the registration, and users might have to register
their projects several times. Thank you for your understanding and please do
not give up, since we are not trying to prevent you from using Savannah, but
rather trying to help you get your project started on a solid legal ground.

Regards,
Jaime
