Dear Fathi Boudra What they agree or not agree is not relevant, but the facts are relevant!
To give you a few real examples: You won't be able to access the following image with your browsers, because they use obsolete and illegal derivations of libjpeg: http://filmicgames.com/Images/Patents/bedroom_arithmetic.jpg from the article "The greatest failure of our patent system wasÂ…" http://filmicgames.com/archives/778 And here you can see the ignorance of the browser developers: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680385 You will not be able to access the following images with your browsers, because they use obsolete and illegal derivations of libjpeg: http://jpegclub.org/kodaksuite/ Compare this with http://www.r0k.us/graphics/kodak/ This of course requires the latest development version of libjpeg (v9 as mentioned) which you can find here: http://www.infai.org/jpeg/ And if you are interested in how this works you can read this: http://jpegclub.org/temp/ http://jpegclub.org/temp/JPEG_9_Lossless_Coding.doc Please be aware that there are certain circles which want to PREVENT that any advance in JPEG image coding reaches you. And their means is this obsolete and illegal derivation of libjpeg. They rely on the ignorance of people, and since many people are ignorant, they can actually reach their goal. But notice the famous saying of Abraham Lincoln: You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time. You apparently belong to that "camp" which promotes obsolete and illegal derivations of libjpeg. Notice that I have actually no plans to take legal action against the deceivers and their circles (which include such companies like Google, Red Hat, Ubuntu, and others, as can be seen on http://www.libjpeg-turbo.org/About/Software), but the organizations and companies that I am working with may see this different one day.
