Didn't somebody lay claim to the gif format? AFAIK you can't distribute
software which encodes/decodes gifs without a license.

if you mean LZW patent - see http://lpf.ai.mit.edu/Patents/Gif/Gif.html

"The United States LZW patent expired on June 20th, 2003.. According to
Unisys, the counterpart Canadian patent expires July 7, 2004, the
counterpart patents in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy expire
June 18, 2004, and the Japanese counterpart patents expire June 20, 2004."

If you would read License you could find that I used SUNs implementation of
LZW-decoder.
