      1 libjpeg-turbo Licenses
      2 ----------------------
      3 
      4 libjpeg-turbo is covered by three compatible BSD-style open source licenses:
      5 
      6 -- The IJG (Independent JPEG Group) License, which is listed in README
      7 
      8    This license applies to the libjpeg API library and associated programs
      9    (any code inherited from libjpeg, and any modifications to that code.)
     10 
     11 -- The Modified (3-clause) BSD License, which is listed in turbojpeg.c
     12 
     13    This license covers the TurboJPEG API library and associated programs.
     14 
     15 -- The zlib License, which is listed in simd/jsimdext.inc
     16 
     17    This license is a subset of the other two, and it covers the libjpeg-turbo
     18    SIMD extensions.

     21 Complying with the libjpeg-turbo Licenses
     22 -----------------------------------------
     23 
     24 This section provides a roll-up of the libjpeg-turbo licensing terms, to the
     25 best of our understanding.
     26 
     27 1.  If you are distributing a modified version of the libjpeg-turbo source,
     28     then:
     29 
     30     a.  You cannot alter or remove any existing copyright or license notices
     31         from the source.
     32

     34                  Clause 1 of the Modified BSD License
     35                  Clauses 1 and 3 of the zlib License
     36 
     37     b.  You must add your own copyright notice to the header of each source
     38         file you modified, so others can tell that you modified that file (if
     39         there is not an existing copyright header in that file, then you can
     40         simply add a notice stating that you modified the file.)
     41 
     42         Origin:  Clause 1 of the IJG License
     43                  Clause 2 of the zlib License
     44 
     45     c.  You must include the IJG README file, and you must not alter any of the
     46         copyright or license text in that file.
     47 
     48         Origin:  Clause 1 of the IJG License
     49 
     50 2.  If you are distributing only libjpeg-turbo binaries without the source, or
     51     if you are distributing an application that statically links with
     52     libjpeg-turbo, then:
     53 
     54     a.  Your product documentation must include a message stating:
     55 
     56         This software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG
     57         Group.
     58 
     59         Origin:  Clause 2 of the IJG license
     60 
     61     b.  If your binary distribution includes or uses the TurboJPEG API, then
     62         your product documentation must include the text of the Modified BSD
     63         License.
     64 
     65         Origin:  Clause 2 of the Modified BSD License
     66 
     67 3.  You cannot use the name of the IJG or The libjpeg-turbo Project or the
     68     contributors thereof in advertising, publicity, etc.
     69 
     70     Origin:  IJG License
     71              Clause 3 of the Modified BSD License
     72 
     73 4.  The IJG and The libjpeg-turbo Project do not warrant libjpeg-turbo to be
     74     free of defects, nor do we accept any liability for undesirable
     75     consequences resulting from your use of the software.
