Re: [Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of Koha Library Automation Package

[Jaime E . Villate]

Hi,
In order to release your project under the GPL you must write copyright
notices and copying permission statements at the beginning of every source
code file, and include a copy of the plain text version of the GNU GPL
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt; copy it, for instance, into a file named
COPYING). In its current state, I can see that the perl programs in Koha
were written by people from Katipo, but I cannot tell if you are allowed
to modify them and import them to Savannah.

Please write copyright notices and copying permission statements following the
advice of http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html and when your are done
register your project again. I also suggest that you write a README file
describing your package.

Regards,
Jaime
