CIS/Unysis GIF scam
I agree John, GIF is a lousy format for displaying images, especially in
this day and age of 24-bit graphics boards, AGA, etc. The guys
interpretation might be a little skewed, but I read the developer's
agreement myself and it is very vague in it's specifications for
"disposition" and "field of use".
My feeling is that Unisys and CompuServe don't have much of a leg to stand
on. GIF has been use in the public domain for years and to suddenly
indicate that everyone will now have to pay royalties, well I wish them
luck in court.
