Follow-up Comment #1:
Hi,
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.
At first, "Linux" is just a kernel of a more complex system that we like to
refer to
as GNU/Linux, to emphasize the ideals of the Free Software movement.
Would you mind changing references to Linux as an OS to GNU/Linux?
For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html.
At second, 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.
To make it clear:
The copyright/license notice in ./litb is not enough, you had to write down
the full license, permission-to-copy statement and copyright notices.
The files in bin/ lack any information about license/copyright.
At third, your COPYING file is old. 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
At fourth, is the copyright holder refered to in the copyright notices
(Freescale Semicondutor), a legal entity that can be assigned copyright?
If not, you need to add the author(s)' name(s) instead.
Check http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html
for more information, and update your files.
At fifth, the directory list of dist/lfs*/ is long. Do you only want to write
in the directories how to build a package, or the package itself, too?
At sixth, your doc looks like it does not have any license.
We prefer to use the FDL for this. The ordinary instructions are:
In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the FDL,
please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements after the
title page of each work.
In addition, if you haven't already, please add a copy of the FDL
(available from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html in various formats)
as a section of your works , and as plain text in a file named 'COPYING'
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt).
For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html#SEC4
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-howto.html also covers additional points,
including a smaller notice that you can use in auxiliary files.
Look forward to your updated tarball.
Regards,
