GIF license and uncompressed GIFs Options

[timur]

I understand that PMView has a full license for the Unisys patented compression used in GIFs. I heard that recently Unisys is trying to make things more difficult to license the technology. Is PMView affected by these license changes?

Also, it appears that it's possible to make GIFs that don't use Unisys's compression. I don't know if it's possible to use a different compression algorithm, but you can make uncompressed GIFs. I didn't see any option for uncomressed GIFs in PMView. I think it should be an option.
