Resizing GIF's

[NeoDreamer]

I've been using the image resize code from http://4wordsystems.com/php_image_resize.php. The author says that uploading non-jpeg will not work because these other formats have restrictive licenses (the script crashes when you attempt to do that). How do I obtain such a license? And is law fo' real, man?

Yep it's real

I'm not sure on the exact terms though - I'm sure it's only for commercial software that you need a licence

Anyway the full patent is here
