============
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|

|
|

Permission is hereby granted to use, copy, modify, and distribute this

|
conditions:
|
|
(1) If any part of the source code for this software is distributed, then this

|
|
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.

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
|
|

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,
|
|
ltmain.sh). Another support script, install-sh, is copyright by X Consortium
|
|
but is also freely distributable.
