But in fact, I wrongly assumed that you were saying that they are since if they're not, there's absolutely no reason to consider them GNU package. > But, guile-fftw and guile-matrix are extensions to Guile and since > I've assigned copyright to the FSF for all extensions to Guile which > I write, I don't see why there should be any problem in denoting > them as GNU projects. What more than that is required? Assigning copyright and making a project part of the GNU project are two differents things. Assigning copyright can be usefull to fix potential legal issues and to let FSF taking care of license violation while making a project part of the GNU project means following GNU standards and being approved by the GNU project (in fact, by Richard Stallman). > If it is necessary for legal reasons I hereby, as an official Guile > developer, declare guile-fftw and guile-matrix to be official parts > of the Guile project. So if others people of Guile project accept this, this issue is over.
