|  13 Permission is hereby granted to use, copy, modify, and distribute this |  | 
|  14 software (or portions thereof) for any purpose, without fee, subject to these |  | 
|  15 conditions: |  | 
|  16 (1) If any part of the source code for this software is distributed, then this |  | 
|  17 README file must be included, with this copyright and no-warranty notice |  | 
|  18 unaltered; and any additions, deletions, or changes to the original files |  | 
|  19 must be clearly indicated in accompanying documentation. |  | 
|  20 (2) If only executable code is distributed, then the accompanying |  | 
|  21 documentation must state that "this software is based in part on the work of |  | 
|  22 the Independent JPEG Group". |  | 
|  23 (3) Permission for use of this software is granted only if the user accepts |  | 
|  24 full responsibility for any undesirable consequences; the authors accept |  | 
|  25 NO LIABILITY for damages of any kind. |  | 
|  26  |  | 
|  27 These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on the IJG code, |  | 
|  28 not just to the unmodified library.  If you use our work, you ought to |  | 
|  29 acknowledge us. |  | 
|  30  |  | 
|  31 Permission is NOT granted for the use of any IJG author's name or company name |  | 
|  32 in advertising or publicity relating to this software or products derived from |  | 
|  33 it.  This software may be referred to only as "the Independent JPEG Group's |  | 
|  34 software". |  | 
|  35  |  | 
|  36 We specifically permit and encourage the use of this software as the basis of |  | 
|  37 commercial products, provided that all warranty or liability claims are |  | 
|  38 assumed by the product vendor. |  |

|  41 ansi2knr.c is included in this distribution by permission of L. Peter Deutsch, |  | 
|  42 sole proprietor of its copyright holder, Aladdin Enterprises of Menlo Park, CA. |  | 
|  43 ansi2knr.c is NOT covered by the above copyright and conditions, but instead |  | 
|  44 by the usual distribution terms of the Free Software Foundation; principally, |  | 
|  45 that you must include source code if you redistribute it.  (See the file |  | 
|  46 ansi2knr.c for full details.)  However, since ansi2knr.c is not needed as part |  | 
|  47 of any program generated from the IJG code, this does not limit you more than |  | 
|  48 the foregoing paragraphs do. |  | 
|  49  |  | 
|  50 The Unix configuration script "configure" was produced with GNU Autoconf. |  | 
|  51 It is copyright by the Free Software Foundation but is freely distributable. |  | 
|  52 The same holds for its supporting scripts (config.guess, config.sub, |  | 
|  53 ltconfig, ltmain.sh).  Another support script, install-sh, is copyright |  | 
|  54 by M.I.T. but is also freely distributable. |  | 
|  55  |  | 
|  56 It appears that the arithmetic coding option of the JPEG spec is covered by |  | 
|  57 patents owned by IBM, AT&T, and Mitsubishi.  Hence arithmetic coding cannot |  | 
|  58 legally be used without obtaining one or more licenses.  For this reason, |  | 
|  59 support for arithmetic coding has been removed from the free JPEG software. |  | 
|  60 (Since arithmetic coding provides only a marginal gain over the unpatented |  | 
|  61 Huffman mode, it is unlikely that very many implementations will support it.) |  | 
|  62 So far as we are aware, there are no patent restrictions on the remaining |  | 
|  63 code. |  | 
|  64  |  | 
|  65 The IJG distribution formerly included code to read and write GIF files. |  | 
|  66 To avoid entanglement with the Unisys LZW patent, GIF reading support has |  | 
|  67 been removed altogether, and the GIF writer has been simplified to produce |  | 
|  68 "uncompressed GIFs".  This technique does not use the LZW algorithm; the |  | 
|  69 resulting GIF files are larger than usual, but are readable by all standard |  | 
|  70 GIF decoders. |  | 
|  71  |  | 
|  72 We are required to state that |  | 
|  73     "The Graphics Interchange Format(c) is the Copyright property of |  | 
|  74     CompuServe Incorporated.  GIF(sm) is a Service Mark property of |  |
