-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I read recently, via the W3 Validator page, one of your interesting tips named "GIF or PNG" [1]. Karl, the author, writes in it he does not knows at the moment where the GIF patents will expire, so I went and looked on Wikipedia to find the answer: "The equivalent patents in Europe, Japan, and Canada, however, won't expire until June 18, June 20, and July 7, 2004 respectively" [2]. These dates are closing, so I think it would be interesting to add this information to this page. Cheers, and thanks again for all your work at the W3C.
