In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the
X11 license, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy
statements at the beginning of every file of source code.

You can have a look at these urls for more details:
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices.html

For an example of PLT Scheme code carrying appropriate (GNU GPL)
notices, you may want to have a look at
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/specialk/
that I co-maintain :)

Incidentally, is the password in the mysql connection source code
valid?

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,
