That page is clearly outdated. You should inform GNU of this

"The US LZW patent expired on June 20, 2003. The counterpart patents in 
the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy expired on June 18, 2004, 
the Japanese counterpart patents expired on June 20, 2004 and the 
counterpart Canadian patent expired on July 7, 2004.[16] Consequently, 
while Unisys has further patents and patent applications relating to 
improvements to the LZW technique,[16] the GIF format may now be used 
freely"
