*lol* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could do something like --enable-have-a-lzw-license

But noone can control this so unisys would consider anybody
using php with gif a criminal. And i do not want to know what
they think about the development of php. MAybe they find a
solution to stop us because *we* are violating their patent in
any way.

Question...

Would it be illegal (patent violation) to add a compile switch to php...

--enable-gif-support-and-violate-the-unisys-patent

which activates the GIF support? We cleary say, that using it is a

As far as i know, only using the LZW Algo violates the patent, but not
having it on your harddisk, or?
