So there's allegedly a patent on JPEG. I think someone came up with a patent on run-length encoding at one point. Legally, moving it to non-free is a lousy cop-out, which I don't think changes our liability one bit. IMO, for the time being, we should just ignore it, until it's clear it's going to be accepted generally as a valid patent. If that happens, then we should consider moving it to non-US, not non-free.
But right now, all we have is a corporation claiming its patent covers JPEG, and we all know how they would never lie about that . . . -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
