Well, for one thing it means that we owe Unisys about $5k (see > > burnallgifs.org) of course, I'm also 100% for the conversion, but I want just to point that the Unisys patent is not legal everywhere. It's legal in the USA (which has the peskier laws about patents... :) but it's not legal in France, for instance. Here you can not copyright an algorithm. So even if we have linux screenshots in gif, it doesn't mean that unisys can send us automatically to jail or something. Cheers, -- Joaquin Cuenca Abela [EMAIL PROTECTED]
