I know of a GPL game project that wasn't accepted to Savannah hosting
because it contained POV source code for its graphics / its graphics were
produced with POV-Ray. And although POV-Ray raytracer (and it's source
code) are freely available, its license isn't "free" in all the senses
defined by FSF.

Still, Savannah is hosting some games which have graphics, *without*
any source code for the graphics (e.g. because their graphics are
drawn, not rendered)! IMHO that's pretty inconsistent.
