The GIF patent has now expired worldwide. If it's not going to be added to
the core Allegro, perhaps the FAQ page on the website should be updated to
explain that, rather than still blaming it on the patent. The way it's
worded at the moment suggests that GIF support will be added once the patent
expires.
