Actually that is not quite right YET.

There are patents relating to the compression used in GIF
that only expire in August 2006,
and a possible that goes into 2007 in some places.
And from experience, these IPR holders have actively defended their
rights. 

But, I doubt that we will come to agreement on this subject
before 2007 anyway ;)
