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 "The Graphics Interchange
Format(c) is the Copyright property of CompuServe
Incorporated. GIF(sm) is a Service Mark property of
CompuServe Incorporated."

PREAMBLE

modified and redistributed freely as long as they are not sold
by themselves. The fonts, including any derivative works, can
be bundled, embedded, redistributed and/or sold with any
software provided that any reserved names are not used by
derivative works. The fonts and derivatives,however, cannot
be released under any other type of license. The requirement
for fonts to remain under this license does not apply to any
document created using the fonts or their derivatives.
