It appears that the arithmetic coding option of the JPEG spec is covered by patents owned by IBM,
AT&T, and Mitsubishi. Hence arithmetic coding cannot legally be used without obtaining one or more
licenses. For this reason, support for arithmetic coding has been removed from the free JPEG software.
(Since arithmetic coding provides only a marginal gain over the unpatented Huffman mode, it is unlikely
that very many implementations will support it.) So far as we are aware, there are no patent restrictions
on the remaining code.
The IJG distribution formerly included code to read and write GIF files. To avoid entanglement with the
Unisys LZW patent, GIF reading support has been removed altogether, and the GIF writer has been
simplified to produce "uncompressed GIFs". This technique does not use the LZW algorithm; the
resulting GIF files are larger than usual, but are readable by all standard GIF decoders.
