I was under the impression that the patents on LZW compression (as used in GIFs) and RSA encryption had now expired. If I'm right, I think these should be removed from the diagram.
LZW has. Not sure about RSA, but I think you might be right.
Also, could you produce a PNG version? This would look nicer and should be viewable by most people.
Aren't there concerns about patents affecting PNG now? Or was that MNG? :)
I'm not sure what to think about the "India" comment at the end. Would some of these patents apply to the client-side software (e.g. Internet Explorer)? If so, maybe your clients (and Microsoft?!) would have to move to India too!
I just don't like the idea of encouraging outsourcing! Stay over there, taking our jobs... :)
