In order to resolve any possible confusion regarding the authorship of gd
, the following copyright statement covers all of the authors who have required such a statement.
Although his LZW compression code no longer appears in gd, the authors wish to thank David Rowley
for the original LZW-based GIF compression code, which has been removed due to patent concerns.
