+### JPEG License
+<pre>
+
+Must reproduce following license in documentation and/or other materials
+provided with distribution:
+
+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.
+
+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."
