The unisys patent expired long ago. See
http://mindpod.com/jgloss/gif.html
for details.

 GIFs are still popular because they support a simple animation
scheme. That is also why they are declasse.

See http://mindpod.com/jgloss/gif.html
and http://mindprod.com/gloss/gifencoder.html
for how to use a gifencodrer.

There are parallel encoders for PNG and JPG
