knowledge in about 1990, leading to a huge uproar in the online world. Some paniced BBS sysops even took their GIF p0rn offline out of fear. CompuServe or Unisys tried to queal the flames by announcing that there would be no "GIF Tax" -- only encoding/decoding software would be covered; and that interested parties should contact them. As this only affected software developers, there was a huge sign of relief among users. Adobe and other image software makers licenced LZW in 1990-1. Unisys must have said more than "nothing" to them at this time. In 1993, Mosaic spread

Oh, and by the way, software patents are not valid in Canada, so this patent would only apply to hardware that does LZW compression. 06/19/2003 07:02:33 PM EST (>2. 06/19/2003 10:37:20 PM EST (>4. How much money did Unisys actually make from this? Especially from software developers. I hope this fucking hurts, you assholes. Huzzah for all internet users everywhere (except Unisys employees, who

There are all sorts of excuses; "It's too much hassle to convert all my graphics and their links", "Internet Explorer doesn't support PNG properly", "PNGs can't do animation and nobody supports MNGs". The best one of all: "Unisys will never sue me!". I wish Unisys a happy year squeezing the very last drops out of their monopoly. or "Why He Stopped Writing Compression Software".
