Hi Frederic Goulard:

I reviewed the source code that you submitted, first at all, why the
name of the tarball is 'cacao' instead of 'ExCsS'?. There's many files
with the Copyright and Notices License missing and others with the
Notices license missing and the Copyright using '(c)' instead '(C)'
this have to be fixed. To learn how to fix the Copyright and the
Notices License, read these URLs:
     
     http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html
     http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices.html

You said that you will use QT in the future, consider do not use it as
a dependence, because the QT license is GPL-Incompatible and we don't
accept this kind of license in Savannah. 

I'll wait your updated tarball.

Regards,
