consequences; the authors accept NO
LIABILITY for damages of any kind.
These conditions apply to any software
derived from or based on the IJG code, not just
to the unmodified library. If you use our work,
you ought to acknowledge us.
Permission is NOT granted for the use of any
IJG author's name or company name in
advertising or publicity relating to this
software or products derived from it. This
software may be referred to only as "the
Independent JPEG Group's software".
We specifically permit and encourage the use
of this software as the basis of commercial
products, provided that all warranty or liability
claims are assumed by the product vendor.
ansi2knr.c is included in this distribution by
permission of L. Peter Deutsch, sole proprietor
of its copyright holder, Aladdin Enterprises of
Menlo Park, CA. ansi2knr.c is NOT covered
by the above copyright and conditions, but
instead by the usual distribution terms of the
Free Software Foundation; principally, that
you must include source code if you
redistribute it. (See the file ansi2knr.c for full
details.) However, since ansi2knr.c is not
needed as part of any program generated from
the IJG code, this does not limit you more than
the foregoing paragraphs do.
The Unix configuration script "configure" was
produced with GNU Autoconf. It is copyright
by the Free Software Foundation but is freely
distributable. The same holds for its
supporting scripts (config.guess, config.sub,
ltconfig, ltmain.sh). Another support script,
install-sh, is copyright by M.I.T. but is also
freely distributable.
It appears that the arithmetic coding option of
the JPEG spec is covered by patents owned by
IBM, AT&T, and Mitsubishi. Hence arithmetic
coding cannot legally be used without
obtaining one or more licenses. For this
reason, support for arithmetic coding has been
removed from the free JPEG software. (Since
arithmetic coding provides only a marginal
gain over the unpatented Huffman mode, it is
unlikely that very many implementations will
support it.) So far as we are aware, there are no
patent restrictions on the remaining code.
The IJG distribution formerly included code to
read and write GIF files. To avoid
entanglement with the Unisys LZW patent,
GIF reading support has been removed
altogether, and the GIF writer has been
simplified to produce uncompressed GIFs.
This technique does not use the LZW
algorithm; the resulting GIF files are larger
than usual, but are readable by all standard GIF
decoders.
We are required to state that
