Hi,

Out of interest I approached UNISYS, and requested a licence cost for purely
inhouse use at our Government defence facility.

The licence is "free". But there is a USD$475 cost described as "processing
fees."

Nobody at work has felt that distraught at the loss of GIF functionality that
they've
wanted to support spending that sort of money.

Long Live PNG.
