Re: Patent Issues with JPEG-2000

Thanks. I knew Jasper was a dependency but I didn't know it was the package providing JPEG-2000 support. Net result is that it seems there is a small but non-zero risk to using it.

Patent Issues with JPEG-2000

Hi,

I'm new to IM but I was hoping to use it with JPEG-2000 images and yet I see that JPEG-2000 is considered by some to be patent encumbered. If that's the case then how can it be part of ImageMagick? Is this a royalty free implementation?

Thanks
