Quote from the Allegro FAQ:

   Why can't Allegro read GIF files?

    Unisys has a patent on the LZW compression algorithm that is used by 
    the GIF format. I want everything in Allegro to be freely usable 
    without any restrictions whatsoever, which means I can't include any 
    code that is subject to licencing or the payment of royalties.
