Hi Stefan

> Es gibt aber sicherlich eine Lizenz bzw. extension zu kaufen , oder?

kaufen? 5000$ pro Website viel Spaß

LZW is used in an obsolete graphic format called GIF, which many web sites use in order to be compatible with old web browsers. Unisys is charging web sites $5000 or more to use these now-obsolete GIF graphics if the software originally used to create the GIFs was not covered by a Unisys license.

20 June 2003: The LZW patent expires today in the United States. However, patents on LZW are still in force in other countries. In mail dated Monday, 23 June 2003, Unisys attorney Mark Starr asserts that LZW patents are still in force in Canada, France, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Japan.
