Hi Thadeu,
before we can approve your project in Savannah, you should make it clear that
it is free documentation, released under the terms of the FDL license. To do
that, please follow the instructions in the Addendum of the FDL
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt):

  To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the
  License in the document and put the following copyright and license notices
  just after the title page:

      Copyright (c)  YEAR  YOUR NAME.
      Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
      under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1
      or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
      with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the
      Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.
      A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU
      Free Documentation License".

  If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant Sections"
  instead of saying which ones are invariant.  If you have no Front-Cover
  Texts, write "no Front-Cover Texts" instead of "Front-Cover Texts being
  LIST"; likewise for Back-Cover Texts.

  If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend
  releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software
  license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free
  software.

Once you've done that, please register your project again in Savannah (sorry,
we do not keep a queue of pending projects; we remove them and users may have
to re-register their projects several times)

Saudações desde Portugal,
Jaime
