The libtiff software was written by Sam Leffler while working for

The LZW algorithm is derived from the compress program (the proper
|
|
|
|
|
attribution is included in the source code). The Group 3 fax stuff
|
|
|
|
|
originated as code from Jef Poskanzer, but has since been rewritten
|
|
|
|
|
several times. The latest version uses an algorithm from Frank
|
|
|
|
|
Cringle -- consult <TT>libtiff/mkg3states.c</TT> and
|
|
|
|
|
<TT>libtiff/tif_fax3.h</TT> for further information.

The JPEG support was written by Tom Lane and is dependent on the
|
|
|
|
|
excellent work of Tom Lane and the Independent JPEG Group (IJG)
|
|
|
|
|
who distribute their work under friendly licensing similar to this
|
|
|
|
|
software.

Many other people have by now helped with bug fixes and code; a
