I've got a patch (originally ported from old version GD) which adds GIF write support to bundled libGD. Is there any chance to accept it to core ? I've been testing it for quite long time with 4_3 and HEAD and it works ok for me.
Nope, due to patent issues we can not add it. regards, Derick
The patent expires on June 18th of this year so just under a month and it can be added again. http://www.unisys.com/about__unisys/lzw/ Regards, Scott Err..
Just saw the rest of the thread so I hope its going to be added again as of the last patent expiry, or could the patch possibly appear in the documentation until the last one expires? Regards, Scott
