If the *mod_perl* developer insisted to put a copy of the Apache code in
our CVS server, with its GIF files, it would be refused. If he submitted just
the mod_perl code, without GIF images, it would be approved.

The no-GIF images requirement is clearly explained in the registration process
you followed when you submitted your project.

Sorry; gnu.org used to receive too much spam so they set up some anti-spam
filters and seems to make some messages sent to address@hidden not to be
delivered. The e-mail I sent you had savannah-hackers in the CC: so you could
reply to that list which I read.

I did reply with my personal e-mail address.

We're sorry that you feel that way. If at some other point you want to give
Savannah another try, we will be here to try to help you as far as we can.
