Do you have any more info about the patent, I want to use .GIF for commercial work but am wary. I had heard this on /. a while back, but nothing since. Believe it or not the Unisys site doesn't have much on the patent. The one article they do have is outdated (doubly so, I tried emailing the article's author but that was returned via the Postmaster). I can certainly see how it'd be in Unisys's favor to spread FUD about it's patent. I just deal without using GIF's (and pray for the day when a plug-in for MNG is made for GIMP).

I am using gimp quite heavily, I need to save files in .GIF format but it appears not to be supported. I too am in need of such a plugin, but it was my understanding that the patent held by Unisys has expired. Negative. At least not yet[1]. The patent does not expire until at least June 2003. Looking at my calendar watch I see it is only March. And there may be other submarine patents in the portfolio which will only be published once this one is expired. Patience.
