This is completely false. If displaying GIF images was a crime then every Web developer in the world would be in jail for lack of paying license fees. At issue can be building an application that can *create* or *export* GIF images (a la Photoshop, FireWorks, etc). Unless you are developing an app to save GIF images, there is no issue. Related: I've *heard* that the statute of limitations on the GIF format is coming near its end, so maybe all the licensing stuff will fall by the wayside soon. In the meantime, PNG is an excellent format to work with, if not completely compatible with old technology (browsers, etc).
