Follow-up Comment #1:

Hello,

Thank you for submitting a new project to host on GNU Savannah.

project hosted on savannah must comply with the hosting requirements:
http://savannah.gnu.org/register/requirements.php 
http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/HowToGetYourProjectApprovedQuickly

One critical requirement is that each file must have a clear copyright
statement and licensing information, and that license must be compatible with
GPL version 3 *and* later.

There are several files in the repository you've provided that seem to have
been written by other people, or by companies.

For files written by other people (e.g. ./hdd_driver/file.c) - please ensure
that the license is compatible with GPL v3 or later. This is especially
important in some files which seem to have been copied from the linux kernel
source - in the linux kernel source, some files are licensed under
GPLv2-or-later (which is compatible with GPLv3-or-later), but other files are
licensed under GPLv2 *only*. Those latter files can not be hosted on GNU
savannah.

For other files (e.g. in ./src and ./scripts) - there is a GPLv3 license
notice, but it does not include the statement "or any later version".
Allow later GPL versions is required for project hosted on GNU savannah.

For more information, see here:
http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/GnuGplTwoOrLater/ .

Additionally, some documentation files (e.g. ./doc/HP16500CHardDriveNotes.html
, doc/index.html, doc/HP16500CFatDriverReadme.html) use the term "Linux" when
likely referring to the GNU/Linux operating system (and not the linux kernel
itself).
Please amend them to "GNU/Linux" where appropriate.
See here for more information: http://www.gnu.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html

There are also some non-source code files (jpg files and other configuration
files: p1/p2/p3/p4/p5) - please add copyright and licensing information about
these files, if not inside the files as comment, then in the README file.


Once these issues are updated,
Please upload a new source code archive to continue with the submission
process.

regards,
 - assaf
