Follow-up Comment #1:
I'd recommend a quick readover of your quote:
> The U.S. IBM patent expires 11 August 2006, (we are still searching the
databases of other countries).
>From the philosophy page:
> Even if Unisys really did give permission for free software to
> generate GIFs, we would still have to deal with the IBM patent.
> Both the IBM and the Unisys patents cover the same
> "invention"--the LZW compression algorithm. (This could reflect
> an error on the part of the US Patent and Trademark Office, which
> is famous for incompetence and poor judgment.)
