+
+<h3>Description</h3>
+
+<p>GIMP stands for “GNU Image Manipulation Program”,
+a self-explanatory name for an application that processes digital
+graphics and is part of the GNU Project, meaning that it follows the GNU
+standards and is released under the
+<a href="/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html">GNU General
+Public License</a>, version 3 or later, to ensure maximum protection of
+users' freedom. It can be used both as a simple tool for basic painting
+and drawing and as a powerful program for complex tasks such as advanced
+photo retouching, digital image composition, editing and animation, as
+well as authoring of original art. Apart from the usual features
+included in similar programs, GIMP displays an array of highly
+sophisticated options aimed at computer graphics professionals. It is
+also multi-platform, and it handles a wide range of formats plus format
+conversion.</p>

+

+FSF Directory</a>, <a href="http://www.gimp.org/">GIMP Official
+Website</a></p>
+
+<h3>Who's Using It and How</h3>
+
+<p>The GIMP is used by a large number of artists, amateurs, Web
+developers, educators. At school it is a handy tool that assists students
+and teachers in the preparation of graphic materials for slides, handouts,
+the school's Web site or bulletin and similar projects.</p>

+work</a>:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p>“It's a program I use for different works: photo manipulation
+(mixing images together), drawings (my 'digital fragments' in relation
+to my 'real fragments' made on paper), teaching to teenagers, preparing
+images for video, etc.). In other words, one of my favorite
programs.”</p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>There are many interesting examples of how this program is put to use
+by professionals and amateurs alike to effectively bring to life their
+ideas without giving up their freedom as computer users. Among those,
+there is one that goes beyond the ordinary.</p>
+
+<h4 id="Mani">How GIMP changed Mani's life.</h4>
+
+<p>Mani began his journey towards liberation from social constraints as
+an enthusiastic and talented teenager. His awareness and commitment to
+freedom led him to actively participate in the formation of a <a
+href="/education/edu-cases-india-ambedkar.html">grassroots volunteer
+group</a> in 2007, with the goal of introducing computer knowledge in
+his slum area in Bangalore through the use of freedom-respecting
+software. This brought sustained improvement to his community and
+ultimately a radical turn in his own life.</p>
+
+<p>The group set up a Free Software computer lab in the slum dwelling
and
+Mani learned fast, becoming a teacher himself to help his peers develop
+better skills in the use of the various applications. He soon acquired a
+mastery of the advanced techniques of GIMP, and, combining technical
+knowledge with innate artistic abilities, he produced graphical art that
+he exhibited and sold. The following three-minutes video portrays Mani's
+endeavor to learn Free Software.</p>

+
+<p>At the time of writing (March 2012) Mani is a student of Computer
+Science in Bangalore. He says:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p> “First I need to say thanks to the Free Software movement, it
+allowed me to start learning GIMP. It was my first achievement in life,
+and I sold many paintings at a Free Software conference. Later I started
+displaying my works in many conferences. Because of GIMP, my painting
+skills are brought out to the world. As you know, our talents are usually
+ignored by the world. Our aims in the community are: to share software
+and knowledge, to learn from each other; to promote the Free Software
+ethical values and raise awareness about the importance of software
+freedom in a marginalized social environment; to empower the poor with
+computer knowledge. We want to replicate our model, we are already
+running three computer centers in other slums in the area.” </p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>Richard Stallman's comment on this case:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p class="center"><strong>“I am more proud that GNU has
+been adopted by Indian Dalits than of its use by famous
+corporations.”</strong></p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<h3>Why</h3>
+
+<p>The interests of nonfree software developers are at odds with the
+needs of users from all segments of society, given that they deny basic
+human values such as collaboration and sharing. Proprietary software
+companies deem irrelevant to their profit goals the damage that their
+policies cause to users of their products.</p>
+
+<p>In complex social structures such as that of India, exclusion of the
+underprivileged from access to information technologies is just one of
+the multiple instances of discrimination this sector of society faces at
+many levels: healthcare, housing, education, employment, to name a few.
+Over time, these vulnerable groups have attained a high degree of
+awareness about the importance of mutual collaboration, a basic human
+value often forgotten or even dismissed among the educated and affluent
+spheres of society in all cultures. The principles of sharing and
+reciprocal concern are deeply rooted in these communities and constitute
+valuable assets in their struggle for survival. The social bond among
+its members is solid and strong, a bulwark against the incursion of
+additional sources of exclusion.</p>
+
+<p>In that scenario, the introduction of proprietary software would not
+be accepted by these socially committed people since that would result
+in the imposition of further restrictions on them as computer users.
+They would not refrain from installing the software in as many computers
+as needed or use it as they please, they would not give up their right
+to access knowledge by studying how computer programs work, they would
+not sign away their right to modify or distribute the programs and,
+above all, they would not give up their right to share copies with their
+neighbors. All of these freedoms are granted to them only by
+<a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">Free Software</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The restrictions imposed on users by proprietary software developers
+serve to attack other layers of society as well, specially the upper
+spending classes, since those are their main target. Artists and computer
+graphics professionals often get trapped in perpetual dependency from a
+company that may decide at any moment to discontinue the product if it is
+not profitable any longer; or it may decide to introduce updates that run
+only on specific platforms —most likely nonfree. So users have no
+choice but to keep the old version of the program or else invest in a new
+operating system.</p>
+
+<p>Isabel Saij explains why she decided to break free from the trap by
+adopting Free Software:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p> “With proprietary programs the artist is at the mercy of the
+software development company. Early in 2003 I used LiveMotion to design
+my digital 2D and 3D works with interactive pieces. Later that year the
+company decided to discontinue it so I was left without support for a
+piece of software on which I had spent my money and my time to learn how
+to use it. Moreover, whenever proprietary software developers decide to
+introduce new functionalities, you have to buy an update which often runs
+on the latest versions of proprietary operating systems only. So you are
+stuck in a vicious circle completely helpless. Itâs frustrating and
+thereâs nothing you can do about it. With Free Software, good projects
+never die due to the community being able to access the code. Someone
+else can come along and continue developing the software.”</p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<h3>Results</h3>
+
+<p>The introduction of Free Software in the slum removed the barriers
+that prevented this marginalized sector of society from accessing
+knowledge in the field of information technology. It provided these
+people with the opportunity to unfold innate capabilities that would
+otherwise have never come to surface. This newly discovered intellectual
+richness brings benefit and progress not only to the involved individuals
+themselves and to the local community but to society as a whole, since
+they have learned how to overcome the detrimental effects of unjust
+global economic policies and are now ready for a productive life.</p>
+
+<p>With Free Software, users received all the benefits of digital
+education without being constrained to compromise their principles. The
+ethical values of Free Software are in line with and sustain those
+principles: not only were people free to use the software as they wished,
+install it in as many machines as they wished, but they were encouraged
+to copy it and share it with their neighbors in solidarity. Mani has
+become an artist using GIMP and a student of Computer Science; by now,
+he has acquired enough knowledge to study the source code and to modify
+it to meet the needs of his community, if necessary. Software freedom
+results in redistribution of intellectual and economic wealth, which is
+not possible where access to knowledge is restricted.</p>
+
+<p>In less disadvantaged contexts, users of GIMP have benefited from
+software freedom in many ways. They are no longer subject to arbitrary
+decisions by proprietary software companies; instead, they belong to a
+large and strong community where developers do care about their needs and
+fellow users provide additional support. Apart from the official manuals
+and tutorials, enthusiastic users publish lots of instructional materials
+and, due to the availability of the source code, those with programming
+skills have contributed a number of plug-ins to enhance the performance
+of the application.</p>
+
+<p>As a free program under the GNU GPL version 3 or later, no arbitrary
+decision by developers can ever stop the advancement of GIMP nor can
+the program be made proprietary.</p>

+<h2>Why There Are No GIF Files on GNU Web Pages</h2>
+
+
+<blockquote><p>There is no special patent threat to GIF format
nowadays
+as far as we know; <a href="#venuenote">the patents that were used to
+attack GIF have expired</a>. Nonetheless, this article will remain
+pertinent as long as programs can be forbidden by patents, since the
+same sorts of things could happen in any area of computing. See
+<a href="/server/fsf-html-style-sheet.html#UseofGraphics"> our web
+site policies regarding GIFs</a>, and
+our <a href="/server/standards/">web
guidelines</a>.</p></blockquote>
+
+
+<p>
+There are no GIFs on the GNU web site because of the
+patents (Unisys and IBM) covering
+the LZW compression algorithm
+which is used in making GIF files. These patents make it
+impossible to have free software to generate proper GIFs.
+They also apply to the <strong>compress</strong> program, which is
why
+GNU does not use it or its format.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Unisys and IBM both applied for patents in 1983. Unisys (and perhaps
+IBM) applied for these patents in a number of countries. Of the
+places whose patent databases we were able to search, the latest
+expiration date seems to be 1 October 2006.
+<sup><a id="returnnote" href="#venuenote">1</a></sup>
Until then,
+anyone who releases a free program for making GIF files
+is likely to be sued. We don't know any reason to think that the
+patent owners would lose these lawsuits.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If we released such a program, Unisys and IBM might think it wiser
+(for public relations reasons) not to sue a charity like the FSF.
+They could instead sue the users of the program, including the
+companies who redistribute GNU software. We feel it would not be
+responsible behavior for us to set up this situation.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Many people think that Unisys has given permission for distributing
+free software to make GIF format. Unfortunately that is
+not what Unisys has actually done. Here is what Unisys actually said
+about the matter in 1995:
+</p>
+
+<blockquote><p>Unisys does not require licensing, or fees to be
paid, for
+non-commercial, non-profit GIF-based applications,
+including those for use on the on-line services. Concerning
+developers of software for the Internet network, the same principle
+applies. Unisys will not pursue previous inadvertent infringement by
+developers producing versions of software products for the Internet
+prior to 1995. The company does not require licensing, or fees to be
+paid for non-commercial, non-profit offerings on the Internet,
+including “Freeware”.</p></blockquote>
+
+<p>
+Unfortunately, this doesn't permit
+<a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a> which can be
used
+in a free operating system such as GNU. It also does not
+permit <em>at all</em> the use of LZW for other purposes
+such as compression of files. This is why we think it is still best
+to reject LZW, and switch to alternatives such
+as <a href="/software/gzip/gzip.html">GNU Gzip</a>
+and PNG.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<a href="/philosophy/selling.html">Commercial redistribution of free
+software</a> is very important, and we want the GNU system as a whole
+to be redistributed commercially. This means we can't add
+a GIF-generating program to GNU, not under the Unisys
+terms.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <a href="http://www.fsf.org">Free Software Foundation</a> is a
+non-commercial, non-profit organization, so strictly speaking the
+income from our sales of <a href="http://shop.fsf.org/">CD-ROMs</a>
+is not “profit”. Perhaps this means we could include
+a GIF program on our CD-ROM and claim to be acting within
+the scope of the Unisys permission—or perhaps not. But since we
+know that other redistributors of GNU would be unable to include it,
+doing this would not be very useful.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Shortly after Unisys made its announcement, when the net in general
+was reassured thinking that Unisys had given permission for
+free GIF-generating software, we wrote to the Unisys
+legal department asking for clarification of these issues. We did not
+receive a response.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Even if Unisys really did give permission for free software to
+generate GIFs, we would still have to deal with the IBM
+patent. Both the IBM and the Unisys patents cover the same
+“invention”—the LZW compression
+algorithm. (This could reflect an error on the part of the US Patent
+and Trademark Office, which is famous for incompetence and poor
+judgment.)
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Decoding GIFs is a different issue. The Unisys and IBM
+patents are both written in such a way that they do not apply to a
+program which can only uncompress LZW format and cannot
+compress. Therefore we can and will include support for
+displaying GIF files in GNU software.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Given this situation, we could still include GIF files in
+our web pages if we wanted to. Many other people would be happy to
+generate them for us, and we would not be sued for
+having GIF files on our server.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+But we feel that if we can't distribute the software to enable people
+to generate GIF files properly, then we should not have
+other people run such software for us. Besides, if we can't provide
+software in GNU to generate GIF files, we have to
+recommend an alternative. We ourselves should use the alternative
+that we recommend.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+In 1999, Unisys had the following to say about the issue of their
+patent:
+</p>
+
+<blockquote><p>Unisys has frequently been asked whether a Unisys
+license is required in order to use LZW software obtained
+by downloading from the Internet or from other sources. The answer is
+simple. In all cases, a written license agreement or statement signed
+by an authorized Unisys representative is required from Unisys for all
+use, sale or distribution of any software (including so-called
+“freeware”) and/or hardware providing LZW
+conversion capability (for example, downloaded
+software).</p></blockquote>
+
+<p>
+With this statement, Unisys is trying to take back what they said in
+1995 when they gave parts of the patent to the public. The legality of
+such a move is questionable.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+A further issue is that the LZW patents—and computational idea
+patents in general—are an offense against the freedom of
+programmers generally, and all programmers need to work together
+to <a href="/philosophy/limit-patent-effect.html">protect
+software from patents.</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+So even if we could find a solution to enable the free software
+community to generate GIFs, that isn't really a solution,
+not for the problem as a whole. The solution is switching to another
+format and not using GIF any more.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Therefore, we don't use GIF, and we hope you won't use it
+either.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It is possible to make non-compressed images that act
+like GIFs, in that they work with programs that
+decode GIF format. This can be done without infringing
+patents. These pseudo-GIFs are useful for some purposes.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It is also possible to create GIFs using a patent-free
+run length encoding but this doesn't achieve the compression that one
+normally expects in a GIF.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+We decided not to use these pseudo-GIFs on our web site
+because they are not a satisfactory solution to the community's
+problem. They work, but they are very large. What the web needs is a
+patent-free compressed format, not large pseudo-GIFs.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics">PNG
+format</a> is a patent-free compressed format. We hope it will become
+widely supported; then we will use it. We do provide PNG versions of
+most of the <a href="/graphics/graphics.html">images on this
server</a>.

+<h3>Footnote:</h3>
+
+<p><a href="#returnnote" id="venuenote">1.</a> We were able
to search
+the patent databases of the USA, Canada, Japan, and the European
+Union. The Unisys patent expired on 20 June 2003 in the USA, in Europe
+it expired on 18 June 2004, in Japan the patent expired on 20 June
+2004 and in Canada it expired on 7 July 2004. The U.S. IBM patent
+expired 11 August 2006. The Software Freedom Law Center says that
+after 1 October 2006, there will be no significant patent claims
+interfering with the use of static GIFs.</p>
+
+<p>Animated GIFs are a different story. We do not know what patents
+might cover them. However, we have not heard reports of threats
+against use of animated GIFs. Any software can be threatened by
+patents, but we have no reason to consider animated GIFs to be in
+particular danger — no particular reason to shun them.</p>

+and Trademark Office, which is famous for incompetence and poor
+judgment.)
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Decoding GIFs is a different issue. The Unisys and IBM
+patents are both written in such a way that they do not apply to a
+program which can only uncompress LZW format and cannot
+compress. Therefore we can and will include support for
+displaying GIF files in GNU software.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Given this situation, we could still include GIF files in
+our web pages if we wanted to. Many other people would be happy to
+generate them for us, and we would not be sued for
+having GIF files on our server.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+But we feel that if we can't distribute the software to enable people
+to generate GIF files properly, then we should not have
+other people run such software for us. Besides, if we can't provide
+software in GNU to generate GIF files, we have to
+recommend an alternative. We ourselves should use the alternative
+that we recommend.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+In 1999, Unisys had the following to say about the issue of their
+patent:
+</p>
+
+<blockquote><p>Unisys has frequently been asked whether a Unisys
+license is required in order to use LZW software obtained
+by downloading from the Internet or from other sources. The answer is
+simple. In all cases, a written license agreement or statement signed
+by an authorized Unisys representative is required from Unisys for all
+use, sale or distribution of any software (including so-called
+“freeware”) and/or hardware providing LZW
+conversion capability (for example, downloaded
+software).</p></blockquote>
+
+<p>
+With this statement, Unisys is trying to take back what they said in
+1995 when they gave parts of the patent to the public. The legality of
+such a move is questionable.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+A further issue is that the LZW patents—and computational idea
+patents in general—are an offense against the freedom of
+programmers generally, and all programmers need to work together
+to <a href="/philosophy/limit-patent-effect.html">protect
+software from patents.</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+So even if we could find a solution to enable the free software
+community to generate GIFs, that isn't really a solution,
+not for the problem as a whole. The solution is switching to another
+format and not using GIF any more.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Therefore, we don't use GIF, and we hope you won't use it
+either.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It is possible to make non-compressed images that act
+like GIFs, in that they work with programs that
+decode GIF format. This can be done without infringing
+patents. These pseudo-GIFs are useful for some purposes.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It is also possible to create GIFs using a patent-free
+run length encoding but this doesn't achieve the compression that one
+normally expects in a GIF.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+We decided not to use these pseudo-GIFs on our web site
+because they are not a satisfactory solution to the community's
+problem. They work, but they are very large. What the web needs is a
+patent-free compressed format, not large pseudo-GIFs.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics">PNG
+format</a> is a patent-free compressed format. We hope it will become
+widely supported; then we will use it. We do provide PNG versions of
+most of the <a href="/graphics/graphics.html">images on this
server</a>.

+<h2>Why There Are No GIF Files on GNU Web Pages</h2>
+
+
+<blockquote><p>There is no special patent threat to GIF format
nowadays
+as far as we know; <a href="#venuenote">the patents that were used to
+attack GIF have expired</a>. Nonetheless, this article will remain
+pertinent as long as programs can be forbidden by patents, since the
+same sorts of things could happen in any area of computing. See
+<a href="/server/fsf-html-style-sheet.html#UseofGraphics"> our web
+site policies regarding GIFs</a>, and
+our <a href="/server/standards/">web
guidelines</a>.</p></blockquote>
+
+
+<p>
+There are no GIFs on the GNU web site because of the
+patents (Unisys and IBM) covering
+the LZW compression algorithm
+which is used in making GIF files. These patents make it
+impossible to have free software to generate proper GIFs.
+They also apply to the <strong>compress</strong> program, which is
why
+GNU does not use it or its format.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Unisys and IBM both applied for patents in 1983. Unisys (and perhaps
+IBM) applied for these patents in a number of countries. Of the
+places whose patent databases we were able to search, the latest
+expiration date seems to be 1 October 2006.
+<sup><a id="returnnote" href="#venuenote">1</a></sup>
Until then,
+anyone who releases a free program for making GIF files
+is likely to be sued. We don't know any reason to think that the
+patent owners would lose these lawsuits.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If we released such a program, Unisys and IBM might think it wiser
+(for public relations reasons) not to sue a charity like the FSF.
+They could instead sue the users of the program, including the
+companies who redistribute GNU software. We feel it would not be
+responsible behavior for us to set up this situation.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Many people think that Unisys has given permission for distributing
+free software to make GIF format. Unfortunately that is
+not what Unisys has actually done. Here is what Unisys actually said
+about the matter in 1995:
+</p>
+
+<blockquote><p>Unisys does not require licensing, or fees to be
paid, for
+non-commercial, non-profit GIF-based applications,
+including those for use on the on-line services. Concerning
+developers of software for the Internet network, the same principle
+applies. Unisys will not pursue previous inadvertent infringement by
+developers producing versions of software products for the Internet
+prior to 1995. The company does not require licensing, or fees to be
+paid for non-commercial, non-profit offerings on the Internet,
+including “Freeware”.</p></blockquote>
+
+<p>
+Unfortunately, this doesn't permit
+<a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a> which can be
used
+in a free operating system such as GNU. It also does not
+permit <em>at all</em> the use of LZW for other purposes
+such as compression of files. This is why we think it is still best
+to reject LZW, and switch to alternatives such
+as <a href="/software/gzip/gzip.html">GNU Gzip</a>
+and PNG.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<a href="/philosophy/selling.html">Commercial redistribution of free
+software</a> is very important, and we want the GNU system as a whole
+to be redistributed commercially. This means we can't add
+a GIF-generating program to GNU, not under the Unisys
+terms.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <a href="http://www.fsf.org">Free Software Foundation</a> is a
+non-commercial, non-profit organization, so strictly speaking the
+income from our sales of <a href="http://shop.fsf.org/">CD-ROMs</a>
+is not “profit”. Perhaps this means we could include
+a GIF program on our CD-ROM and claim to be acting within
+the scope of the Unisys permission—or perhaps not. But since we
+know that other redistributors of GNU would be unable to include it,
+doing this would not be very useful.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Shortly after Unisys made its announcement, when the net in general
+was reassured thinking that Unisys had given permission for
+free GIF-generating software, we wrote to the Unisys
+legal department asking for clarification of these issues. We did not
+receive a response.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Even if Unisys really did give permission for free software to
+generate GIFs, we would still have to deal with the IBM
+patent. Both the IBM and the Unisys patents cover the same
+“invention”—the LZW compression
+algorithm. (This could reflect an error on the part of the US Patent
+and Trademark Office, which is famous for incompetence and poor
+judgment.)

+Decoding GIFs is a different issue. The Unisys and IBM
+patents are both written in such a way that they do not apply to a
+program which can only uncompress LZW format and cannot
+compress. Therefore we can and will include support for
+displaying GIF files in GNU software.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Given this situation, we could still include GIF files in
+our web pages if we wanted to. Many other people would be happy to
+generate them for us, and we would not be sued for
+having GIF files on our server.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+But we feel that if we can't distribute the software to enable people
+to generate GIF files properly, then we should not have
+other people run such software for us. Besides, if we can't provide
+software in GNU to generate GIF files, we have to
+recommend an alternative. We ourselves should use the alternative
+that we recommend.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+In 1999, Unisys had the following to say about the issue of their
+patent:
+</p>
+
+<blockquote><p>Unisys has frequently been asked whether a Unisys
+license is required in order to use LZW software obtained
+by downloading from the Internet or from other sources. The answer is
+simple. In all cases, a written license agreement or statement signed
+by an authorized Unisys representative is required from Unisys for all
+use, sale or distribution of any software (including so-called
+“freeware”) and/or hardware providing LZW
+conversion capability (for example, downloaded
+software).</p></blockquote>
+
+<p>
+With this statement, Unisys is trying to take back what they said in
+1995 when they gave parts of the patent to the public. The legality of
+such a move is questionable.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+A further issue is that the LZW patents—and computational idea
+patents in general—are an offense against the freedom of
+programmers generally, and all programmers need to work together
+to <a href="/philosophy/limit-patent-effect.html">protect
+software from patents.</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+So even if we could find a solution to enable the free software
+community to generate GIFs, that isn't really a solution,
+not for the problem as a whole. The solution is switching to another
+format and not using GIF any more.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Therefore, we don't use GIF, and we hope you won't use it
+either.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It is possible to make non-compressed images that act
+like GIFs, in that they work with programs that
+decode GIF format. This can be done without infringing
+patents. These pseudo-GIFs are useful for some purposes.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It is also possible to create GIFs using a patent-free
+run length encoding but this doesn't achieve the compression that one
+normally expects in a GIF.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+We decided not to use these pseudo-GIFs on our web site
+because they are not a satisfactory solution to the community's
+problem. They work, but they are very large. What the web needs is a
+patent-free compressed format, not large pseudo-GIFs.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics">PNG
+format</a> is a patent-free compressed format. We hope it will become
+widely supported; then we will use it. We do provide PNG versions of
+most of the <a href="/graphics/graphics.html">images on this
server</a>.

+There is a library called libungif that reads gif files and writes
+uncompressed gifs to circumvent the Unisys patent.

+<h3>Footnote:</h3>
+
+<p><a href="#returnnote" id="venuenote">1.</a> We were able
to search
+the patent databases of the USA, Canada, Japan, and the European
+Union. The Unisys patent expired on 20 June 2003 in the USA, in Europe
+it expired on 18 June 2004, in Japan the patent expired on 20 June
+2004 and in Canada it expired on 7 July 2004. The U.S. IBM patent
+expired 11 August 2006. The Software Freedom Law Center says that
+after 1 October 2006, there will be no significant patent claims
+interfering with the use of static GIFs.</p>
+
+<p>Animated GIFs are a different story. We do not know what patents
+might cover them. However, we have not heard reports of threats
+against use of animated GIFs. Any software can be threatened by
+patents, but we have no reason to consider animated GIFs to be in
+particular danger — no particular reason to shun them.</p>
