Re: [Savannah-hackers] submission of phpWEBkit - easy website building kit - savannah.nongnu.org

Hi,
Your project has been approved but please do not upload the file pos.gif
into Savannah; you can use PNG or JPEG formats intead. Savannah's
discourages the use of GIF images.

Because of the patents (Unisys and IBM) covering the LZW
compression algorithm which is used in making GIF files,
it's impossible to have free software to generate proper
GIFs. They also apply to the compress program.

For more information read http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gif.html

Regards,
Jaime
