It appears that Unisys is actively pursuing copyright control on the LZW compression<br />
algorithm. In particular, users of the LZW compression within the TIFF framework. For<br />
this reason the TIFF 6.0 spec states that LZW compression is not recommended. It is<br />
unclear at this time what compression algorithm will be used in place of it. I have no<br />
idea what this means to you or to this library. I make no warranty or guarantees with<br />
regard to the LZW support in this library.<br />
