On the content production side, if you're assembling you GIF content
with something like Photoshop, you're covered as Adobe paid up long ago.
A lot trickier if you assemble GIF content dynamically on the server as
UNISYS licensing issues have lead to GIF support (or LZW compression at
the very least) being dropped from many server technologies.

Subject: (keitai-l) GIFs & Unisys
A mundane question:
The majority of current Docomo phones support GIF only, but as far as I
know, Docomo haven't purchased a system-wide license LZW license from
Unisys, which means content suppliers have to negotiate licenses
individually or assemble GIFs without LZW compression, which makes them
bigger, of course.
Have I missed something here? And if people are creating GIFs without
the compression, what tool are they using?
