Hi Goswin,
a little note just to emphasize patents don't make free software any
bit non-free.
So GIFs and the Gimp isn't really a good example (and gimp-nonfree is
misnamed), choose please another one.
The only one thing that can make a piece of software non free is the
lack of willingness of its author(s) to cooperate with other people,
and precisely this happens when this sad desire is clearly expressed
in its license.
Go bravely lobbying such dark-side authors and suggest them to make
their software free, for the sake of all of us. :-)
Regards,
