Being somewhat intrigued by the new gif form on the RSI Web page, I went
through the motions to fill out the application with Unisys to get a
gif/tiff license. They sent me a questionairre which indicated they were
mostly interested in people who were making money with gif files. I assured
them we are a government agency and only use gif for Web pages. I then
received a very official-looking agreement form from the Unisys Office of
the General Counsel, which I am supposed to sign and send back to them.
Near the end of this agreement are the words "The above limited license is
free except for a fee of $475.00 to cover processing and administrative
costs. A check for this fee should be returned along with this agreement."

Gee, I wonder what the NASA Chief Council would think of this? Needless to
say, we won't be using gif from IDL!
