I can't speak for the developers of Batik, but the usual reason that GIF is not supported
in open-source software is because anyone who creates tools that generate GIFs must
pay a patent licence fee for the priveledge. With an open-source project, there isn't a
clear body to pay those licence fees. Hence, GIF tends to be excluded.
