By contrast, the GNU General Public +License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free +software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This +General Public License applies to most of the Free Software +Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to +using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by +the GNU Library General Public License instead.) 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 +this service 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 make restrictions that forbid +anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. +These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you +distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. + + For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether +gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that +you have. 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. + + We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and +(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, +distribute and/or modify the software. + + Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain +that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free +software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we +want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so +that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original +authors' reputations. + + Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software +patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free +program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the +program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any +patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. + + The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and +modification follow. + + GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE + TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION + + 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains +a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed +under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, +refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" +means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: +that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, +either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another +language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in +the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". + +Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not +covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of +running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program +is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the +Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). +Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. + + 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's +source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you +conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate +copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the +notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; +and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License +along with the Program. + +You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and +you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. + + 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion +of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and +distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 +above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: + + a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices + stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. + + b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in + whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any + part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third + parties under the terms of this License. + + c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively + when run, you must cause it, when started running for such + interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an + announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a + notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide + a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under + these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this + License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but + does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on + the Program is not required to print an announcement.) + +These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If +identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, +and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in +themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those +sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you +distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based +on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of +this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the +entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. + +Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest +your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to +exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or +collective works based on the Program. + +In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program +with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of +a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under +the scope of this License. + + 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, +under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of +Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: + + a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable + source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections + 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, + + b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three + years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your + cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete + machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be + distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium + customarily used for software interchange; or, + + c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer + to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is + allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you + received the program in object code or executable form with such + an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) + +The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for +making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source +code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any +associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to +control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a +special exception, the source code distributed need not include +anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary +form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the +operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component +itself accompanies the executable. + +If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering +access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent +access to copy the source code from the same place counts as +distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not +compelled to copy the source along with the object code. + + 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program +except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt +otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is +void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. +However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under +this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such +parties remain in full compliance. + + 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not +signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or +distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are +prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by +modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the +Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and +all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying +the Program or works based on it. + + 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the +Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the +original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to +these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further +restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. +You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to +this License. + + 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent +infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), +conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or +otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not +excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot +distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this +License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you +may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent +license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by +all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then +the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to +refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. + +If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under +any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to +apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other +circumstances. + +It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any +patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any +such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the +integrity of the free software distribution system, which is +implemented by public license practices. Many people have made +generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed +through that system in reliance on consistent application of that +system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing +to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot +impose that choice. + +This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to +be a consequence of the rest of this License. + + 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in +certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the +original copyright holder who places the Program under this License +may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding +those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among +countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates +the limitation as if written in the body of this License. + + 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions +of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will +be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to +address new problems or concerns. + +Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program +specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any +later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions +either of that version or of any later version published by the Free +Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of +this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software +Foundation. + + 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free +programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author +to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free +Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes +make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals +of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and +of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. + + NO WARRANTY + + 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY +FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN +OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES +PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED +OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF +MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS +TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE +PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, +REPAIR OR CORRECTION. + + 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING +WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR +REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, +INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING +OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED +TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY +YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER +PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE +POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. + + END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS + + How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs + + If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest +possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it +free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. + + To do so, attach the following notices to the program.

JPEG (pronounced "jay-peg") is a standardized compression +method for full-color and gray-scale images. JPEG is intended for compressing +"real-world" scenes; line drawings, cartoons and other non-realistic images +are not its strong suit. JPEG is lossy, meaning that the output image is not +exactly identical to the input image. Hence you must not use JPEG if you +have to have identical output bits. However, on typical photographic images, +very good compression levels can be obtained with no visible change, and +remarkably high compression levels are possible if you can tolerate a +low-quality image. For more details, see the references, or just experiment +with various compression settings. + +This software implements JPEG baseline, extended-sequential, and progressive +compression processes. Provision is made for supporting all variants of these +processes, although some uncommon parameter settings aren't implemented yet. +For legal reasons, we are not distributing code for the arithmetic-coding +variants of JPEG; see LEGAL ISSUES. We have made no provision for supporting +the hierarchical or lossless processes defined in the standard. + +We provide a set of library routines for reading and writing JPEG image files, +plus two sample applications "cjpeg" and "djpeg", which use the library to +perform conversion between JPEG and some other popular image file formats. +The library is intended to be reused in other applications. + +In order to support file conversion and viewing software, we have included +considerable functionality beyond the bare JPEG coding/decoding capability; +for example, the color quantization modules are not strictly part of JPEG +decoding, but they are essential for output to colormapped file formats or +colormapped displays. These extra functions can be compiled out of the +library if not required for a particular application. We have also included +"jpegtran", a utility for lossless transcoding between different JPEG +processes, and "rdjpgcom" and "wrjpgcom", two simple applications for +inserting and extracting textual comments in JFIF files. + +The emphasis in designing this software has been on achieving portability and +flexibility, while also making it fast enough to be useful. In particular, +the software is not intended to be read as a tutorial on JPEG. (See the +REFERENCES section for introductory material.) Rather, it is intended to +be reliable, portable, industrial-strength code. We do not claim to have +achieved that goal in every aspect of the software, but we strive for it. + +We welcome the use of this software as a component of commercial products. +No royalty is required, but we do ask for an acknowledgement in product +documentation, as described under LEGAL ISSUES. + + +LEGAL ISSUES +============ + +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) 1991-1996, 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 configuration script "configure" was produced with GNU Autoconf. It +is copyright by the Free Software Foundation but is 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. + +WARNING: Unisys has begun to enforce their patent on LZW compression against +GIF encoders and decoders. You will need a license from Unisys to use the +included rdgif.c or wrgif.c files in a commercial or shareware application. +At this time, Unisys is not enforcing their patent against freeware, so +distribution of this package remains legal. However, we intend to remove +GIF support from the IJG package as soon as a suitable replacement format +becomes reasonably popular. + +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." + + +REFERENCES +========== + +We highly recommend reading one or more of these references before trying to +understand the innards of the JPEG software. + +The best short technical introduction to the JPEG compression algorithm is + Wallace, Gregory K. "The JPEG Still Picture Compression Standard", + Communications of the ACM, April 1991 (vol. 34 no. 4), pp. 30-44. +(Adjacent articles in that issue discuss MPEG motion picture compression, +applications of JPEG, and related topics.) If you don't have the CACM issue +handy, a PostScript file containing a revised version of Wallace's article +is available at ftp.uu.net, graphics/jpeg/wallace.ps.gz. The file (actually +a preprint for an article that appeared in IEEE Trans. Consumer Electronics) +omits the sample images that appeared in CACM, but it includes corrections +and some added material. Note: the Wallace article is copyright ACM and +IEEE, and it may not be used for commercial purposes. + +A somewhat less technical, more leisurely introduction to JPEG can be found in +"The Data Compression Book" by Mark Nelson, published by M&T Books (Redwood +City, CA), 1991, ISBN 1-55851-216-0. This book provides good explanations and +example C code for a multitude of compression methods including JPEG. It is +an excellent source if you are comfortable reading C code but don't know much +about data compression in general. The book's JPEG sample code is far from +industrial-strength, but when you are ready to look at a full implementation, +you've got one here... + +The best full description of JPEG is the textbook "JPEG Still Image Data +Compression Standard" by William B. Pennebaker and Joan L. Mitchell, published +by Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1993, ISBN 0-442-01272-1. Price US$59.95, 638 pp. +The book includes the complete text of the ISO JPEG standards (DIS 10918-1 +and draft DIS 10918-2). This is by far the most complete exposition of JPEG +in existence, and we highly recommend it. + +The JPEG standard itself is not available electronically; you must order a +paper copy through ISO or ITU. (Unless you feel a need to own a certified +official copy, we recommend buying the Pennebaker and Mitchell book instead; +it's much cheaper and includes a great deal of useful explanatory material.) +In the USA, copies of the standard may be ordered from ANSI Sales at (212) +642-4900, or from Global Engineering Documents at (800) 854-7179. (ANSI +doesn't take credit card orders, but Global does.) It's not cheap: as of +1992, ANSI was charging $95 for Part 1 and $47 for Part 2, plus 7% +shipping/handling. The standard is divided into two parts, Part 1 being the +actual specification, while Part 2 covers compliance testing methods. Part 1 +is titled "Digital Compression and Coding of Continuous-tone Still Images, +Part 1: Requirements and guidelines" and has document numbers ISO/IEC IS +10918-1, ITU-T T.81. Part 2 is titled "Digital Compression and Coding of +Continuous-tone Still Images, Part 2: Compliance testing" and has document +numbers ISO/IEC IS 10918-2, ITU-T T.83. + +Extensions to the original JPEG standard are defined in JPEG Part 3, a new ISO +document. Part 3 is undergoing ISO balloting and is expected to be approved +by the end of 1995; it will have document numbers ISO/IEC IS 10918-3, ITU-T +T.84. IJG currently does not support any Part 3 extensions. + +The JPEG standard does not specify all details of an interchangeable file +format. For the omitted details we follow the "JFIF" conventions, revision +1.02.

The JPEG incorporation scheme +found in the TIFF 6.0 spec of 3-June-92 has a number of serious problems. +IJG does not recommend use of the TIFF 6.0 design (TIFF Compression tag 6). +Instead, we recommend the JPEG design proposed by TIFF Technical Note #2 +(Compression tag 7). Copies of this Note can be obtained from sgi.com or +from ftp.uu.net:/graphics/jpeg/. It is expected that the next revision of +the TIFF spec will replace the 6.0 JPEG design with the Note's design. +Although IJG's own code does not support TIFF/JPEG, the free libtiff library +uses our library to implement TIFF/JPEG per the Note. libtiff is available +from sgi.com:/graphics/tiff/. + + +ARCHIVE LOCATIONS +================= + +The "official" archive site for this software is ftp.uu.net (Internet +address 192.48.96.9).

If you don't +have FTP access, UUNET's archives are also available via UUCP; contact +help@uunet.uu.net for information on retrieving files that way. + +Numerous Internet sites maintain copies of the UUNET files. However, only +ftp.uu.net is guaranteed to have the latest official version. + +You can also obtain this software in DOS-compatible "zip" archive format from +the SimTel archives (ftp.coast.net:/SimTel/msdos/graphics/), or on CompuServe +in the Graphics Support forum (GO CIS:GRAPHSUP), library 12 "JPEG Tools". +Again, these versions may sometimes lag behind the ftp.uu.net release. + +The JPEG FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) article is a useful source of +general information about JPEG. It is updated constantly and therefore is +not included in this distribution. The FAQ is posted every two weeks to +Usenet newsgroups comp.graphics.misc, news.answers, and other groups. +You can always obtain the latest version from the news.answers archive at +rtfm.mit.edu. By FTP, fetch /pub/usenet/news.answers/jpeg-faq/part1 and +.../part2. If you don't have FTP, send e-mail to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu +with body + send usenet/news.answers/jpeg-faq/part1 + send usenet/news.answers/jpeg-faq/part2 + + +RELATED SOFTWARE +================ + +Numerous viewing and image manipulation programs now support JPEG. (Quite a +few of them use this library to do so.) The JPEG FAQ described above lists +some of the more popular free and shareware viewers, and tells where to +obtain them on Internet. + +If you are on a Unix machine, we highly recommend Jef Poskanzer's free +PBMPLUS image software, which provides many useful operations on PPM-format +image files. In particular, it can convert PPM images to and from a wide +range of other formats. You can obtain this package by FTP from ftp.x.org +(contrib/pbmplus*.tar.Z) or ftp.ee.lbl.gov (pbmplus*.tar.Z). There is also +a newer update of this package called NETPBM, available from +wuarchive.wustl.edu under directory /graphics/graphics/packages/NetPBM/. +Unfortunately PBMPLUS/NETPBM is not nearly as portable as the IJG software +is; you are likely to have difficulty making it work on any non-Unix machine. + +A different free JPEG implementation, written by the PVRG group at Stanford, +is available from havefun.stanford.edu in directory pub/jpeg. This program +is designed for research and experimentation rather than production use; +it is slower, harder to use, and less portable than the IJG code, but it +is easier to read and modify. Also, the PVRG code supports lossless JPEG, +which we do not. + + +FILE FORMAT WARS +================ + +Some JPEG programs produce files that are not compatible with our library. +The root of the problem is that the ISO JPEG committee failed to specify a +concrete file format. Some vendors "filled in the blanks" on their own, +creating proprietary formats that no one else could read. (For example, none +of the early commercial JPEG implementations for the Macintosh were able to +exchange compressed files.) + +The file format we have adopted is called JFIF (see REFERENCES). This format +has been agreed to by a number of major commercial JPEG vendors, and it has +become the de facto standard. JFIF is a minimal or "low end" representation. +We recommend the use of TIFF/JPEG (TIFF revision 6.0 as modified by TIFF +Technical Note #2) for "high end" applications that need to record a lot of +additional data about an image. TIFF/JPEG is fairly new and not yet widely +supported, unfortunately. + +The upcoming JPEG Part 3 standard defines a file format called SPIFF. +SPIFF is interoperable with JFIF, in the sense that most JFIF decoders should +be able to read the most common variant of SPIFF. SPIFF has some technical +advantages over JFIF, but its major claim to fame is simply that it is an +official standard rather than an informal one. At this point it is unclear +whether SPIFF will supersede JFIF or whether JFIF will remain the de-facto +standard. IJG intends to support SPIFF once the standard is frozen, but we +have not decided whether it should become our default output format or not. +(In any case, our decoder will remain capable of reading JFIF indefinitely.) + +Various proprietary file formats incorporating JPEG compression also exist. +We have little or no sympathy for the existence of these formats. Indeed, +one of the original reasons for developing this free software was to help +force convergence on common, open format standards for JPEG files. Don't +use a proprietary file format! + + +TO DO +===== + +In future versions, we are considering supporting some of the upcoming JPEG +Part 3 extensions --- principally, variable quantization and the SPIFF file +format. + +Tuning the software for better behavior at low quality/high compression +settings is also of interest. The current method for scaling the +quantization tables is known not to be very good at low Q values. + +As always, speeding things up is high on our priority list. + +Please send bug reports, offers of help, etc. to jpeg-info@uunet.uu.net. diff --git a/dll.c b/dll.c new file mode 100644 index 00000000..5cd5e538 --- /dev/null +++ b/dll.c @@ -0,0 +1,44 @@ +/* sane - Scanner Access Now Easy. + Copyright (C) 1996, 1997 David Mosberger-Tang + This file is part of the SANE package. + + This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or + modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as + published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the + License, or (at your option) any later version. + + This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but + WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of + MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

SANE - License

+
+ +
+ +

+ The information on this page is copied from the LICENSE file that is included in the sane-backends + distribution. It's only changed to use HTML and some links were added. +

+

+ This files attempts to clarify the licensing situation for the SANE + distribution. In case of doubt, the copyright information contained in + each file overrides what is said here. +

+

+ SANE consists of three parts each of which has its own licensing + terms: +

+
+
+
+ The frontend programs. +
+
+ These programs are generally protected by the GNU General Public + License. (See file COPYING.) +
+ +
+ The backend libraries. +
+
+ Most backend libraries are protected by the GNU General Public License (see file COPYING), but as an exception, it is permissible to link against such a + library without affecting the licensing status of the program that uses the libraries. + For details, see the copyright notice at the head of the backend files (e.g., backend/dll.c).
+ + Note that not all of the backends apply the exception and that some have additional + licensing constraints. E.g., the DC210 backend uses JPG code that is licensed as + described in README.djpeg. +
+ +
+ The SANE API and network protocol as put forth in the standard document. +
+
+ The standard is considered to be in the public domain. Anyone is + free to implement SANE interface conforming applications or libraries in any way he or she + sees fit. +
