Do not worry, we will not import the current code in your
repository. You will do this as you wish.

The notices are fine.

Basically, you said you would host a project released under the GNU
GPL. As long as you keep it under the GNU GPL, there is no problem. If
you plan to change your license, you then have to contact us. And you
can contact us (or address@hidden for nasty questions) at any time.


So, I have approved your project.  You will receive an automated
e-mail containing detailed information about the approval.
