INDEPENDENT JPEG GROUP
SOFTWARE
In plain English:
1.
We don't promise that this software works. (But if
you find any bugs, please let us know!)
2.
You can use this software for whatever you want.
You don't have to pay us.
3.
You may not pretend that you wrote this software.
If you use it in a program, you must acknowledge
somewhere in your documentation that you've
used the IJG code.
In legalese:
The authors make NO WARRANTY or representation,
either express or implied, with respect to this software,
its quality, accuracy, merchantability, or fitness for a
particular purpose. This software is provided "AS IS",
and you, its user, assume the entire risk as to its quality
and accuracy.
This software is copyright (C) 1991-1998, Thomas G.
Lane.
All Rights Reserved except as specified below.
Permission is hereby granted to use, copy, modify, and
distribute this software (or portions thereof) for any
purpose, without fee, subject to these conditions:
(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 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
"The Graphics Interchange Format(c) is the
Copyright property of CompuServe Incorporated.
GIF(sm) is a Service Mark property of
CompuServe Incorporated."
