It's to do with the patent situation of the LZW compression used in
GIF. For static images, I normally save as PNG instead if it's
intended for the web, or if I really do need GIF I save as PPM and run
through pnmquant and ppmtogif. (The latter are part of the netpbm
package, installed via fink.) I don't know what to do for animations
though.
HTH.
