Amigo follows up on serious allegations about H&P and says: "I also just asked Unisys as it says here, and am waiting for a reply. If true, H&P could probably be forced to close."
[ If H&P indeed didn't pay royalties for Unisys' GIF algorithm, they might not be forced to close per se, but if this is indeed true, and Unisys decides to sue, they might have to pay some serious fines. Also note that while this is not in unmoderated, it's highly speculative, unconfirmed and generally should be taken with the usual grain of salt - CK ]

Serious allegations about H&P : Comment 7 of 164 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Christian Kemp on 08-Nov-2001 14:16 GMT | In reply to Comment 6 (Graham): I'm not sure, but I thought there was no licence fee due for freeware GIF readers. While the AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 datatypes were not free, at least they didn't write GIFs, which IIRC required that expensive licence from Unisys. |
