RE: Gimp and GIF
it's all about our great friends from wehavethewayout.com - UNISYS
they hold a patent for GIF. I belive there is a package called gimp-nonfree
which provides gif support

Subject: Gimp and GIF
Running testing. Gimp, installed via apt-get, will not allow me to save a
GIF. I can open and edit it, but trying to save says that it is an
unrecognized type. The GIF extension doesn't show up (even grayed out) on
the list of types to save as.
Talking to friends who use Red Hat and Mandrake, both indicate that they
were
able to use Gimp for GIFs without any extra action on their part. Searching
the web, I find lots of references to patent issues, as well as references
to
a plug-in which will add GIF capabilities. However, I don't find any
download links to the plug-in.
Could someone set me straight on the using Gimp with GIFs under Debian?
