Some Linux distributions, as well as popular windows binary packages 
come out without the GIF plug-in. It is usually downloadable as a 
separate plug-in with a note for the patent issues.

This can be a major PITA sometimes (you need to do GIF, and just find 
out the live Linux CD with GIMP on it is lacking the gif plug-in for 
example)
