The readme contains:

GIF/TIFF LZW reading/writing:
-------------------
You need to purchase a license because LZW is a patented algorithm.
More information is available on http://www.unisys.com

The LZW patent has expired.

Thank you for the hint. I also think that the info in the readme is outdated now and can be removed.

Note: The info about the expired LZW patent is also available on the web pages of UniSys.
