Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

I have approved it, but take the following in mind about the Creative
Commons license:
However, when using them, we strongly urge you to reject the option to
reference the license with a link to a URL. You cannot take for
granted that the same URL will still function ten years from now;
fifty years from now, URLs as they exist today may be entirely
obsolete. If the URL does not function, that would disconnect your
work from its license; then it would effectively lose its copying
permissions, since people won't be able to tell what is permitted. We
therefore urge you to include a copy of the license with the work, for
every work, all the time. 

Regards,

Rudy
