Hi Klaus,
In order to resolve any possible confusion regarding the authorship of gd, the following copyright statement covers all of the authors who
have required such a statement. Although his LZW compression code no longer appears in gd, the authors wish to thank David
Rowley for the original LZW-based GIF compression code, which has been removed due to patent concerns. If you are aware of
any oversights in this copyright notice, please contact Thomas Boutell who will be pleased to correct them.
ich verstehe das so, daß der kodierte Algorithmus selber rechtlich geschützt ist, das Verfahren jedoch nicht. Wenn Du also eine eigene Routine schreibst (oder ich *g*), bestehen da eigene Copyrights.
Alle Angaben wie immer ohne Winchester ;-)
