Gifs are not necessarily non-free. There is an ungiflib which reads and
writes GIF images. What IS non-free is the writing on GIF's that use LZW
compression because it is patented. So if it NEVER writes any GIF's you are
safe. if it writes gifs but not compressed gifs you are also safe. If it
I just thought of something about the package which I'm maintaining: It
uses GIFs to store the graphics it uses, but loads them using it's own
routines rather than a lib. Question is would it have to go into non-free?
As I have already uploaded it who do I inform, or do I upload a new
version?
