Hello Sergio!

Thanks for your comments!

I fix the problems that you say me. Please check it

1) On d/copyright, the license specified for the project is wrong.
> According to the LICENSE file, the project is released under a slightly
> modified version of the Apache license.  This is something really
> important to get right, otherwise the ftp-masters will certainly reject

2) Still on d/copyright: as said above, the GPL-2 license is wrong.
> However, I think it's also important to mention that the license text is

Ready!

Ready!

Yes, I forgot do that! Sorry!

Yes, I remove it. Since I do not have much knowledge about doc-base and why
it is there, I left it. But now is removed.

Thanks for your help!
Regards!
