Hi Biran Gunlogson:

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

We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to
catch potential legal issues early, can you send the source code to my
email(address@hidden)?

For example, to release your program properly under the GPL you must
include a copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements at
the beginning of every file of source code.  This is explained in
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would help catch
potential omissions such as these.

Regards,
