GIF is proprietary IP and the owners of it can change licensing on 
particular use whenever they want. PNG is open-standard with no known IP 
  issues. The question is if Freenet developers want to play hide'n'seek 
with GIF or use something clearly free of any conflicts.

And some of us might donate to "Burn All Gifs" project but not on 
projects using GIF's..
