Unisys sued Corel. Corel paid.
Unisys has a list of licensed software. If you're a webmaster
and you KNOW that all graphics on your site came from the list
of approved graphics programs, then you don't have to get a
license.
Otherwise, they want a one-time license fee of $5000 for a
FREE intranet, OR website, or $7500 for both.
If used for commercial purposes, the license fee is
"customized to their particular situations."
