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."

derivative works. The fonts and derivatives,however, cannot

be released under any other type of license. The requirement

for fonts to remain under this license does not apply to any

document created using the fonts or their derivatives.
