Follow-up Comment #1:

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

At first, please include a (perhaps temporary) URL pointing to the source
code.
The description you gave when registering will not be read by the general
public.
If you are still concerned with privacy, however, you can forward the code to
me by email.

We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to catch
potential legal issues early.

For example, to release your program properly under the GPL you must include
a copyright notice and
permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every file of source code. 
This is explained in
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would help catch
potential omissions such as these.




At second, 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 third, FLASH is a proprietary format. Please use only free implementations
and if you can avoid using Flash, please do so.


At fourth, OpenSSL has a GPL incompatible license, please avoid linking to
it. We advice you to use GnuTLS instead of OpenSSL. Can you solve this
dependence?

Regards,
