-
-  <p>This software, including documentation, source code, object code and/or
-  additional materials (TGIFImage) is owned by Anders Melander (the Author).</p>
-
-  <p>This License does not provide you with title or ownership of TGIFImage, but
-  only a right of limited use as outlined in this License agreement. The Author
-  hereby grants you a non-exclusive, royalty free license to use TGIFImage as
-  set forth below:</p>
-
-  <ul>
-    <li>integrate TGIFImage with your Applications, subject to the
-    redistribution terms below.</li>
-
-    <li>modify or adapt TGIFImage in whole or in part for the development of
-    Applications based on TGIFImage.</li>

-
-  <h3>Redistribution rights</h3>
-
-  <p>You are granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to reproduce and
-  redistribute executable files created using TGIFImage (the Executable Code)
-  in conjunction with software products that you develop and/or market (the
-  Applications).</p>
-
-  <h4>Restrictions</h4>
-
-  <p>Without the expressed, written consent of the Author, you may NOT:</p>
-
-  <ul>
-    <li>distribute modified versions of TGIFImage, in whole or in part.</li>
-
-    <li>rent or lease TGIFImage.</li>

-
-  <h3>Limited warranty</h3>
-
-  <p>There is no warranty or other guarantee of fitness for this software, it is
-  provided solely &quot;as is&quot;. Bug reports or fixes may be submitted, but there is no guarantee they will be acted upon.</p>
-
-  <h3>LZW license</h3>
-
-  <p>GIF (and thus TGIFImage) uses an adaption of the LZW compression algorithm
-  for image compression. The LZW algorithm is patented by UNISYS. Unfortunately
-  UNISYS requires royalty payment for all software that uses the LZW
-  algorithm.</p>
-
-  <p>To avoid the use of the LZW algorithm for writing GIFs, TGIFImage can write
-  GIFs using a LZW compatible RLE compression method. See the
-  <var>TGIFImage.Compression</var> property for more information. There are
-  conflicting opinions on whether a LZW license is required to read GIFs. Some
-  patent lawyers are of the opinion that the LZW patent does not cover LZW
-  decoders, but others disagree. If this matters to you, you should contact your
-  own lawyer.</p>
-
-  <p>For information regarding UNISYS' view on the use of LZW in commercial
-  software, please read the License Information on GIF and Other LZW-based
-  Technologies. The UNISYS patent on the LZW algorithm may or may not apply to
-  you depending on the laws of your country. Personally I have less than warm
-  feelings for Unisys and their patent and I don't care if you have a license or
-  not.</p>
-
-  <p>The LZW patent <span style="text-decoration:line-through">expires</span>
-  expired in 2004.</p>
-
-  <h3>Credit of work</h3>
-
-  <p>If you redistribute TGIFImage in binary form (i.e. as a library or linked
-  into an application), the accompanying documentation (e.g. readme file, help
-  file or about-box) should state that This software is based, in part, on the
-  work of Anders Melander or words to that effect.</p>
