(1) If any part of the source code for this software is distributed,

then this README file must be included, with this copyright

and no-warranty notice unaltered; and any additions, deletions,

or changes to the original files must be clearly indicated in

accompanying documentation.

(2) If only executable code is distributed, then the accompanying

documentation must state that "this software is based in part

on the work of the Independent JPEG Group".

(3) Permission for use of this software is granted only if the user

accepts full responsibility for any undesirable 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 X Consortium. but is

also freely distributable.

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."

GPLv3

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 3, 29 June 2007

Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://

fsf.org/>

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies

of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for

software and other kinds of works.

The licenses for most software and other practical works are

designed to take away your freedom to share and change the

works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended

to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions

of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its

users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General

Public License for most of our software; it applies also to any

other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it

to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom,

not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make

sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free

software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive

source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change

the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that

you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from

denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.

Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute

copies of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to

respect the freedom of others.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program,

whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients

the same freedoms that you received. You must make sure

that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you

must show them these terms so they know their rights.

Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with

two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer

you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute

and/or modify it.

For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly

explains that there is no warranty for this free software. For

both users' and authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified

versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not

be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions.

Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or

run modified versions of the software inside them, although the

manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with

the aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software.

The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of

products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is

most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version

of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such

problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready

to extend this provision to those domains in future versions of

the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.

Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software

patents. States should not allow patents to restrict development

and use of software on general-purpose computers, but in

those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents

applied to a free program could make it effectively proprietary.

To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used

to render the program non-free.
