Re: [Savannah-hackers] Re: GNU Speech status

Jaime,

So I did all that stuff.  It is a process I have been through once before 
and the project full name and short name were (as I expected) already 
taken.  So I put place-holders in, which seemed to satisfy the system.

So now I am confused again.

Anyway, no doubt some responsible person will approve the project (for the
second time!) and real confusion will reign because there will be two
projects -- one called "(Name already assigned)" [ unless the responsible
person does something non-standard].

Point is, I don't really understand what is going on here.  Maybe someone 
can enlighten me.  What happened to all the source code that was on the 
CVS repository.  Why do I get messages saying I am not authorised to 
access the relevant pages?  As far as I am concerned, the source code can 
be freely available to the public under the terms of the GPL.

I can send another CD in which I have included various refinements to 
licensing statements to take care of the fact that some of the old 
copyright notices are embedded in various places in the original code.  It 
is easier to deal with the issue by a coverall set of statements, and 
documents (e.g. copy of & URL for the GPL), than to risk screwing things 
up by trying to edit all the code to eliminate all buried statements.

I attach copies of recent correspondence for convenience, and thank you in 
advance for your patience.

Jaime,

Thanks for your succinct and informative email.  Thanks also to Mathieu & 
Rudy for your responses.  I think I have what I need to proceed.
