Now that the Unisys LZW patent is expired, can the lzw compression kit be integrated with the tiff-3.6.1 ebuild? Perhaps controlled by a USE variable?
This is already implemented in ebuild. The ebuild tiff-2.6.1-r1.ebuild already use the patch to lzw compression. This bug should be marked as FIXED.
This was fixed as of 25 April...
