Hi Everyone,
I'm interested in knowing when GIF support will be re-included into 
packages like PHP, ImageMagick and other image processing and 
generation tools. GIF, as you might know was covered by patents until 
the 20th of June 2004. The patents are now expired worldwide and gif 
code could be easily re-activated in libs like GD and PHP. It was 
always there, it was just not included into the packages because of the 
patent problems. So, are there any plans to include gif libs into any 
packages? It would be great if someone could give me some feedback on 
this.

Thanks,

Andres
