16 |
is free. There is no support or guarantee of any sort as to its

operations, correctness, or whatever. If you do anything useful with

18 |
all or parts of it you need to honor the copyright notices. It would
|
|
|
19 |
also be nice to be acknowledged.<p>

The libtiff software was written by Sam Leffler while working for
|
|
|
26 |
Silicon Graphics.<p>

The LZW algorithm is derived from the compress program (the proper
|
|
|
29 |
attribution is included in the source code). The Group 3 fax stuff
|
|
|
30 |
originated as code from Jef Poskanzer, but has since been rewritten
|
|
|
31 |
several times. The latest version uses an algorithm from Frank
|
|
|
32 |
Cringle -- consult <TT>libtiff/mkg3states.c</TT> and
|
|
|
33 |
<TT>libtiff/tif_fax3.h</TT> for further information.

The JPEG support was written by Tom Lane and is dependent on the
|
|
|
35 |
excellent work of Tom Lane and the Independent JPEG Group (IJG)
|
|
|
36 |
who distribute their work under friendly licensing similar to this
|
|
|
37 |
software.

Many other people have by now helped with bug fixes and code; a
