whoa,
there's some pretty disturbing disclaimers in the MSDN network HTML helpfile for the picturebox and image controls. It says that these controls use GIF/LZW technology which is patented (in part) by Unisys and that if you use them (for profit) then you better get a license from Unisys or else. The Unisys website is even scarier with stories about companies getting sued for infringement.
I even e-mailed Unisys about using the Line and Pset methods on a picturebox and they said I need a license to do that ?? What?
Anybody else get served by Unisys about selling an app or control that contains a picturebox or image control ?
Thanks in advance.. (very confused)
