Re: [Savannah-hackers] submission of Readies Personal Finance Manager - savannah.nongnu.org

[Jaime E . Villate]

Hi Jon,
your project has been approved in Savannah and you should receive and
automated message telling you that. Notice that you still have to tell Glade
the license information for your project to avoid the following message:

# Copyright (c) Date Thu Dec 20 16:56:09 GMT 2001
# Author Jon Mitchell <address@hidden>
#
## Unspecified copying policy, please contact the author Jon Mitchell

from appearing in the files that Glade generates in src/ and Documentation/
The copying permission statements for the .pl files you have in the main
directory are OK.

Cheers,
Jaime
