In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the
GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements
at the beginning of every file of source code.

In addition, if you haven't already, please copy a copy of the plain
text version of the GPL, available from
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt), into a file named "COPYING".

Additional instructions are available from
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.

The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed.  To learn
why a copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code,
for example, go to
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude

This isn't the correct way:
                                    LifeBoat

                              There is NO warrenty.
         This program is released under the GNU General Public
                              License.
    See the file called COPYING for a copy of the GNU General Public
                              License.



In addition it's better to release your documentation under the GFDL.
Would you consider doing that?  If so please apply it correctly.

Please register your project once more with the changes
mentioned above.  

We cannot track projects that have been answered but not approved, so
we must ask you to register the project whenever you change the
registration. Make sure to apply all changes so you need to reregister
only once.

The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgement of your earlier
registration will direct you to the proper location.

Regards,

Rudy
