[Savannah-register-public] [task #13293] Submission of RufasGate

[Assaf Gordon]

Follow-up Comment #5, task #13293 (project administration):

Hello,

Thank you for the update.
There are still few issues that need to be resolved.

Generally, including files from external source (not written by you),
and listing them in the README file as "not GPL'd" is not enough to comply
with GNU Savannah's hosting requirement.
Each file (either source code or PNG or WAV or other) MUST be properly
attributed to its author, and must have a clear Free-Software-compatible
license.

-1-
The following files contain code, but no copyright or license.
A comment inside then hints they originated from a online website,
and written by various people.
Please ensure they have a proper copyright, and a correct license:
    data/clouds.fs
    data/starfield.fs
    data/starfield3.fs
    data/starfield4.fs
    data/starfieldOSX.fs
    data/starfield_good_orig.fs
    data/volcano.fs

-2-
The sound files (./data/*.wav) do not have a clear author/copyright, and at
least for some,
you have indicated that these files are licensed under CC BY-NC (i.e. the
"non-commercial" license). 
I am not an licensing expert, so I will have to consult others regarding
whether this is acceptable for hosting on GNU Savannah.

-3-
The image files (./data/*.png) - do not have a clear author/copyright.
In the README file you've refered to them as:
  "For textures were freely available on google images."
Which does not satisfy GNU Savannah's hosting requirements, as it does not
tell what is the license of these files.
Files which are "freely available" ("Free" as in "no cost") are not
necessarily Free as in "respecting your freedom", and are not necessarily
legally distribute-able and usable together with Free Software.

When viewing images through "Google Search", there is a warning stating
"Images may be subject to copyright" - it is your responsibility to ensure the
files are acceptable to use.



Please address these issues and let us know when evaluation can continue.

Regards, 
- Assaf
