| [...] The following is an examiner's statement of reasons for | patentability and/or confirmation of the claims found patentable in | this reexamination proceeding: | | Claims 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 14, 16-24, 26, 28, 29, 31, 33, 34, 37, | 40, 43, 45 and 46 are | | confirmed. [...] Someone familiar with the JPEG algorithm (or some time to kill) would have to check if it infringes on any of the claims upheld. Without doing that, it is hard to tell which side has won. OTOH, I'm not sure if Debian is willing to remove any JPEG implementations, so we should probably close this bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
