Follow-up Comment #1:

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


At first, you have included a COPYING file, which includes the GNU GPL, but
you files were published under the GNU LGPL.



At second, Licensing under the "GNU LGPL v2.1 only" is problematic.
Would you agree to license your project under the "GNU LGPL v2.1 or later"?

The reason for this is that when we publish LGPL v3,
it will be important for all LGPL-covered programs to advance to LGPL v3.
If you don't put this in the files now, the only way to port your program to
LGPL v3 would be to ask each
and every copyright holder, and that may be very difficult.

We can explain the issue in more detail if you wish.
If you have concerns about "LGNU GPL v2.1 or later", we'd be happy to address
them too.


And at last, the address of the FSF has changed, and is now:

  51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA

Please update your license notices.

Updates versions of the GPL, LGPL and GFDL can also be found at:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.txt
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt

Please update the copy of the license (usually, the 'COPYING' file) in your
package as well.

You can find some background and a possible migration script at
https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=3766



Please clarify the point of the difference licenses in your COPYING file and
in the source code headers and of the "version 2.1 only"-issue.

Regards,
