Follow-up Comment #2:

Hi Mark,

While evaluating the new tarball you attached I see that you removed
references to mercury and ALPS; that's good. I've noticed, however, a few
problems which are described below.


== Use of Linux ==

In the project INSTALL file and chapter 5 of the documentation, Installation,
you refer to Linux as an operating system, please note that "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.

Taking the above into account, the first paragraph on the INSTALL file should
read similar to this:

"Spinner is developed on GNU/Linux and can be installed with a minimum of
effort
on any Debian-based distribution. It depends on the boost libraries, version
1.32
or 1.33, and compiles with g++ versions 4.0 and 3.6. It should be easy to
install spinner on any system where these programs are installed."

Or, if you decide to use a completely free distribution
<http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html> for development:

"Spinner is developed on [Trisquel, gNewSense, etc.] GNU/Linux and can be
installed with a minimum of effort on any Debian-based distribution. It
depends
on the boost libraries, version 1.32 or 1.33, and compiles with g++ versions
4.0
and 3.6. It should be easy to install spinner on any system where these
programs
are installed."


== Copyright and license notices ==

Please write appropriate copyright and license notices, at the beginning of
all of your source (non-derivative) files.
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html and
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html are good
starting points to understand these issues and provide standard templates;
please use them to speed up approval. More answers at
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html. For the GFDL, check
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-howto.html.

Check for example the following files in your project:

* ChangeLog: Change log files should have a copyright notice and license
notice at the end, since new material is added at the beginning but the end
remains the end. See
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html. 
* Documentation files: The documentation seems to be distributed under a GPL
version 2 license, according to gpl.texi, but the source *.texi files have a
different license header. You should update the license headers in these files
to use the standard license header recommended in
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html. Or did you want to distribute the
documentation under a different license? In any case, please make it clear
what license is applied to the software and what license to the
documentation.
* Files in the examples directory: Are these files licensed under GPL version
2 as well? If they are, or if they are licensed under any other free license,
please add copyright and license notices to their respective README files.
* Files in the src directory: banners.hpp, makefile and
metropolis_heisenberg.hpp are missing copyright and license notices. Cfn.cpp,
Cfn.cpp.backup and lattice_graph.cpp have copyright notices, but need license
notices as well.

For information on how to use copyright notices see
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html. For
information on how to use the GPL license header see
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html. You already applied them correctly
to the other source files, so take them as reference for the ones listed
above.

You may also find useful looking at emacs source code
<http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs/trunk/files> as a reference for how to
apply such notices.

Please apply the changes indicated above and attach a new tarball for
revision. We will approve your project after that if everything is OK.

Regards,
