Today 8 july 2004 IST last patent of famous LZW (Algo used in GIFs) is expiring, this last patent was in Canada(so canadian time it was 7th July 2004, it expired.) So now US, Europe, And Canada all are free for LZW usuage
Will be interesting to see what unisys do now
or sites like this will still be needed, I request unisys let it be free now, it is long time they have stopped popularity of GIFs and who can forget who the popularity of GIFs declined since 1995, and yes, you IBM you also don't jump in fight this time.
