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) 1991-1998, 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.

This software component is provided to you as part of a software package and applicable license terms are in the Package_license file. If you received this software component outside of a package or without applicable license terms, the terms of the SLA0047 license shall apply and are fully reproduced below:

NO OTHER RIGHTS OR LICENSES

No rights or licenses are granted to You, except as expressly stated in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no rights or licenses are granted in any products, technology or intellectual property rights of ST except those embodied in the Licensed Software.

NO WARRANTY

The Licensed Software is provided “as is” and “with all faults” without warranty of any kind expressed or implied. ST and its licensors expressly disclaim all warranties, expressed, implied or otherwise, including without limitation, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement of intellectual property rights. ST does not warrant that the use in whole or in part of the Licensed Software will be interrupted or error free, will meet Your requirements, or will operate with the combination of hardware and software selected by You.

You are responsible for determining whether the Licensed Software will be suitable for your intended use or application or will achieve your intended results. ST will not be liable to You and/or to any third party for the derivative works of the Licensed Software developed by You.

ST has not authorised anyone to make any representation or warranty for the Licensed Software, and any technical, applications or design information or advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services provided by ST shall not constitute any representation or warranty by ST or alter this disclaimer or warranty, and no additional obligations or liabilities beyond those explicitly stated in this Agreement shall arise from ST’s providing such information or services. ST does not assume or authorize any other person to assume for it any other liability in connection with the Licensed Software.

Nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed as:

  1. a warranty or representation by ST to maintain production of any ST device or other hardware or software with which the Licensed Software may be used or to otherwise maintain or support the Licensed Software in any manner; or

  2. a commitment from ST and/or its licensors to bring or prosecute actions or suits against third parties for infringement of any of the rights licensed hereby, or conferring any rights to bring or prosecute actions or suits against third parties for infringement. However, ST has the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon receiving notice of any claim, suit or proceeding that alleges that the Licensed Software or Your use or distribution of the Licensed Software infringes any third party intellectual property rights.

All other warranties, conditions or other terms implied by law are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES

In no event shall ST or its licensors be liable to You or any third party for any indirect, special, consequential, incidental, punitive damages or other damages (including but not limited to, the cost of labor, re-qualification, delay, loss of profits, loss of revenues, loss of data, costs of procurement of substitute goods or services or the like) whether based on contract, tort, or any other legal theory, relating to or in connection with the Licensed Software, the documentation or this Agreement, even if ST has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event shall ST’s liability to You or any third party under this Agreement, including any claim with respect of any third party intellectual property rights, for any cause of action exceed 100 US$. This section does not apply to the extent prohibited by law. For the purposes of this section, any liability of ST shall be treated in the aggregate.

TERMINATION

ST may terminate this Agreement, including its licenses, at any time if You are in material breach of any of its terms and conditions and You have failed to cure such breach within 30 (thirty) days after receiving notification from ST of such breach. Upon termination, You will immediately destroy or return all copies of the Licensed Software (including without limitation any documentation) to ST. After termination, Your sole surviving right will be to continue to use the Licensed Software solely to the extent that it was already incorporated before Your material breach of this Agreement into Your Products, which were sold by You before the date of Your material breach.

APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION

This Agreement and matters connected with the validity, interpretation or performance thereof shall be governed, construed, interpreted, and applied in all respects by the law in place in Switzerland, without resort to conflict of laws principles. The Parties expressly agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement or to their relationship.

Dispute Resolution. The Parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction in the court of Canton of Geneva, Switzerland for purposes of any litigation arising from this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this section shall prevent either Party seeking interim injunctive relief from a court or tribunal of appropriate jurisdiction.

SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this agreement is or becomes, at any time or for any reason, unenforceable or invalid, no other provision of this agreement shall be affected thereby, and the remaining provisions of this agreement shall continue with the same force and effect as if such unenforceable or invalid provisions had not been inserted in this Agreement.

WAIVER

ASSIGNMENT

This Agreement may not be assigned by You, nor any of Your rights or obligations hereunder, to any third party without prior written consent of ST. In the event that this Agreement is assigned effectively to a third party, this Agreement shall bind upon successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

Neither Party has the authority or power to bind, to contract in the name of or to create a liability for the other in any way or for any purpose.
