Answer ID 756680   -   Does Paint Shop Pro have Unisys LZW licensing?

Yes, it does.

Jasc Software, Inc. has secured a license with Unisys Corporation to use its
patented LZW compression technology in the TIFF and GIF image file formats.
This license covers the demo, evaluation and licensed/registered versions of
Jasc's software. By using Jasc products you are assured of using a product
that is in compliance with Unisys' LZW patent.

Jasc has secured a license from Unisys to permit you to use Jasc products
from a network server if you acquire a site license for that product from
Jasc.

You may create GIF and TIFF images using a registered copy of a Jasc
Software product. You may then post those images on a Web page. According to
Mark Starr, General Patent and Technology Counsel for Unisys, if the GIFs on
your Web site were created with software that is licensed by Unisys (for
example, a registered copy of Paint Shop Pro), your use is legal.

There may be some limitations of use if you are using a Jasc Software
product to operate a web server, internet server or bulletin board, or if
you are an on-line vendor using the software as a means to run your on-line
service.
