Re: Resizing images

in reply to Resizing images

One slight warning. Resizing a GIF could well be seen as creating a new GIF. Doing this without buying a license from Unisys could well be illegal under the terms of their patents. See Lincoln' Stein's excellent Web Techniques article at http://www.webtechniques.com/archives/1999/12/webm/ for more details.

The UNISYS patent will, thankfully, expire in 2003. A Slashdot article has an interesting remark on this debacle.	[reply]
