getimagesize() is not part of GD. You likely didn't add the GD extension
correctly to PHP.

The copyright issue really has nothing to do with PHP. Talk to the GD
folks. It is not our decision. With the bundling of GD in 4.3 that
changes a bit, but it only applies to generating gifs, not reading them.
There are versions of GD out there that have jpg, png and gif all
included. PHP supports these hacked versions.
