I don't think that being able to _READ_ a GIF file makes POV-RAY
outlaw. As far as remember the license problem comes when the software
has to _WRITE_ in GIF format, because it must compress the file with
the patented LZW compression.
However I'm maybe wrong. I just decided not to use GIF any longer
for quite some time now (since PNG is far better anyway) so I've simply
forgot what's the actual problem ;op [the one regret is animated gifs
that could still be useful]
