+(1) If any part of the source code for this software is distributed,

+(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

+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.
+
+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."
