I don't know of anyone having been sought out by Unisys (doesn't mean it
hasn't happened, though). I do know that those who have asked Unisys
about it have been offered licensing terms that are completely
unworkable/inappropriate for free software. Unisys clearly does not
like free software and would be just as happy if all LZW support in free
software went away. I think we should oblige them...
