Re: [Plug] Good bye GIFs


As much as I'd like to "burn all GIFs" - I'm going crazy here. 

As a web designer - I've got a gazillion GIFs on sites all over the place.
I used GIFs since not all browsers can read jpg's or png's.

So now - I have all these GIFs on web sites and no time to get them all
switched.

I wonder if this is why they held out so long before saying "okay now we
want our money"...

I knew they pretty much "owned" the format but I thought the vendor of the
image software needed the license (I'm not exactly brilliant when it comes
to copyright/trademark/patent laws and I'm still not quite sure I
understand which vendor licenses are and are not acceptable).
