In the copyright page of the help file, the following entry appears:
Part of this is inaccurate, part of it is wrong: TIFF's *can be* LZW compressed, but they don't have to be. The GIF patent expired in 2003, so no license is required. (Not sure, but I think the LZW patent that applied to GIF's also applied to TIFF's. If that's true, then this entry could probably be eliminated altogether.)

Found in Help for v1.91 for Windows.
