Hi,

The copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements at
the beginning of every file of source code is not complete.

    does.>

One note, you've copied a copy the of the plain text version of the GPL in a
file named COPING. The right name is COPYING, you should correct this.

us with an updated tarball of your project.  Upon review, we
will reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah.
