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

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."
