Re: [Savannah-hackers] submission of MirrorPool - savannah.nongnu.org

[Loic Dachary]

        Hi,

        In order for your program to be released under the GNU GPL, it
should be included in a distribution including the GNU GPL package and
the script should start with a license and copyright notice as explained
in the GNU GPL itself.

        Could you please do that and submit your project again ?

        Thanks in advance,
