It seems that after 17 years there should be some sort of implied consent.

PNG is the clear alternative, as even GIFs have licensing restrictions on them.

Yup, PNG for me! I've never been able to get PNG imges as small as jpgs except on really tiny low-color graphics. But according to the PNG site, I'm an idiot who's not doing it right if I can't make them smaller than jpgs. So I guess it serves me right for being an idiot!

After the $3 million Macromedia settlement, and paying $15 million to Forgent, I'm sure the price of Photoshop 8.0 will skyrocket. Grr. mad Oh well, I'm just glad I finally got 7.0 at my cute little academic price, so I'll be able to use that for a good long while before they decide to upgrade.

EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to mention this earlier: TheX, Netwerkin is lookin' _really_ nice! laugh Muchos props, man!

you should re-think that smile

TheX ---- I would agree, that is very stupid. But think about it, would be a good idea release something let a million people use it and then say wait a second oh by the way I patented this and you all owe me money smile

However I can forsee that if they try to charge money for JPEGS the will get dropped faster then a 700 man off the empire state building
