Thank you! Please make sure that all copyrightable files in your tarball have [//savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/ValidNotices/ valid copyright and license notices]. Please note that even when the format of some binary files doesn't have room for textual annotations, the copyright and copying permissions should be stated in a README file in the same directory. While at it: many files have duplicate license notices, first says, 'This program and its source is distributed under the terms of the GNU Public License version `3` and later.', then the form recommended in the GPL follows. I suggest only using the second notice: it's carefully written by lawyers to avoid possible misunderstandings and other issues. Additional notices are redundant and may be a source of confusion. > and I updated the license file.

Your package is [//www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html free software]. Your users have to build it from its source in order to enjoy freedom 1 and freedom 3. Therefore we can't say that the users needn't install the compiler on their machines. > Licenses for libraries used: > - The Rust Programming Language :: Expat license :: > [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rust-lang/rust/refs/heads/main/LICENSE-MIT > view license] ... > - anyhow :: Expat license :: > [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dtolnay/anyhow/refs/heads/master/LICENSE-MIT > view license] Thank you, this is helpful. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?16750> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.nongnu.org/
