Hi,

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

I have tree comments regarding the notices you used :

- "* Copyright (C) 2004 Leonardo Martins. All rights reserved."
It should be "* Copyright (C) 2004  Leonardo Martins"
You should not add "All rights reserved", since you giving the users
some rights through the mBSD.

- ./include/h2o/xml/xml.h and ./include/h2o/xml/reader.h are released
under the GNU GPL, which basically should make your whole project
under the GNU GPL. Is this normal?

- The files in data/ should also carry a copyright and license
notice. Any file more than 10 lines long have to carry such notice to
avoid legal issues.

If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please provide
us with an URL to an updated tarball of your project.  Upon review, we
will reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah.

Regards,
