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

[Rudy Gevaert]

You can e-mail it to me.

We would like to look at your source code, even if it is still
not functional, to help you fix potential legal issues which
would be harder to correct after the project gets approved.
For example, to release your program properly under the GPL,
you should write copyright notices and copying permission statements
at the beginning of every source code file,
as explained in http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.
