Follow-up Comment #3, task #4353 (project administration):

Hello.

Sorry for the delay.

At first, your license should be in English not in French. Would you like to
change this?



At second, your source files lack information about copyright and license.

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

In addition, if you haven't already, please include a copy of the plain text
version of the GPL,
available from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt, into a file named
"COPYING".

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.

The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed.
To learn why a copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code,
for example, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude.



At third, for the binary files (such as .exe, .png, ...) please include a
README file in their directories and write there the license and copyright
notices for these files down.
See also http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html



At fourth, please remove GIF image files from your project and replace them
with an other format (such as PNG or JPEG).

Because of the patents (Unisys and IBM) covering the LZW compression algorithm
which are used when making GIF files,
it's impossible to have free software to generate proper GIFs.  These patents
also apply to the compress program.

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gif.html.



At fifth, correct me if I wrong, but the included firefox version in your
tarball is the Windows(tm) version. What about other free operating systems?
Do you provide source code for them, too?

And all in all, I saw a lot of .dll and .exe in your tarball, but no much
source code.
If you want to host proprietary software instead of free software, Savannah is
the wrong place for doing this.
Can you please clarify this point?


Regards,
