| libjpeg-turbo Licenses |
| ====================== |
| |
| libjpeg-turbo is covered by three compatible BSD-style open source licenses: |
| |
| - The IJG (Independent JPEG Group) License, which is listed in |
| [README.ijg](README.ijg) |
| |
| This license applies to the libjpeg API library and associated programs |
| (any code inherited from libjpeg, and any modifications to that code.) |
| |
| - The Modified (3-clause) BSD License, which is listed below |
| |
| This license covers the TurboJPEG API library and associated programs, as |
| well as the build system. |
| |
| - The zlib License, which is listed below |
| |
| This license is a subset of the other two, and it covers the libjpeg-turbo |
| SIMD extensions. |
| |
| |
| Complying with the libjpeg-turbo Licenses |
| ========================================= |
| |
| This section provides a roll-up of the libjpeg-turbo licensing terms, to the |
| best of our understanding. |
| |
| 1. If you are distributing a modified version of the libjpeg-turbo source, |
| then: |
| |
| 1. You cannot alter or remove any existing copyright or license notices |
| from the source. |
| |
| **Origin** |
| - Clause 1 of the IJG License |
| - Clause 1 of the Modified BSD License |
| - Clauses 1 and 3 of the zlib License |
| |
| 2. You must add your own copyright notice to the header of each source |
| file you modified, so others can tell that you modified that file (if |
| there is not an existing copyright header in that file, then you can |
| simply add a notice stating that you modified the file.) |
| |
| **Origin** |
| - Clause 1 of the IJG License |
| - Clause 2 of the zlib License |
| |
| 3. You must include the IJG README file, and you must not alter any of the |
| copyright or license text in that file. |
| |
| **Origin** |
| - Clause 1 of the IJG License |
| |
| 2. If you are distributing only libjpeg-turbo binaries without the source, or |
| if you are distributing an application that statically links with |
| libjpeg-turbo, then: |
| |
| 1. Your product documentation must include a message stating: |
| |
| This software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG |
| Group. |
| |
| **Origin** |
| - Clause 2 of the IJG license |
| |
| 2. If your binary distribution includes or uses the TurboJPEG API, then |
| your product documentation must include the text of the Modified BSD |
| License. |
| |
| **Origin** |
| - Clause 2 of the Modified BSD License |
| |
| 3. You cannot use the name of the IJG or The libjpeg-turbo Project or the |
| contributors thereof in advertising, publicity, etc. |
| |
| **Origin** |
| - IJG License |
| - Clause 3 of the Modified BSD License |
| |
| 4. The IJG and The libjpeg-turbo Project do not warrant libjpeg-turbo to be |
| free of defects, nor do we accept any liability for undesirable |
| consequences resulting from your use of the software. |
| |
| **Origin** |
| - IJG License |
| - Modified BSD License |
| - zlib License |
| |
| |

| |
| Why Three Licenses? |
| =================== |
| |
| The zlib License could have been used instead of the Modified (3-clause) BSD |
| License, and since the IJG License effectively subsumes the distribution |
| conditions of the zlib License, this would have effectively placed |
| libjpeg-turbo binary distributions under the IJG License. However, the IJG |
| License specifically refers to the Independent JPEG Group and does not extend |
| attribution and endorsement protections to other entities. Thus, it was |
| desirable to choose a license that granted us the same protections for new code |
| that were granted to the IJG for code derived from their software. |
