The libtiff software was written by Sam Leffler while working for
Packit 85355f
Silicon Graphics.

The LZW algorithm is derived from the compress program (the proper attribution
Packit 85355f
is included in the source code).  The Group 3 fax stuff originated as code
Packit 85355f
from Jef Poskanzer, but has since been rewritten several times.  The latest
Packit 85355f
version uses an algorithm from Frank Cringle -- consult
Packit 85355f
<TT>libtiff/mkg3states.c</TT> and <TT>libtiff/tif_fax3.h</TT> for further
Packit 85355f
information. The JPEG support was written by Tom Lane and is dependent on the
Packit 85355f
excellent work of Tom Lane and the Independent JPEG Group (IJG) who distribute
Packit 85355f
their work under friendly licensing similar to this software. Joris Van Damme
Packit 85355f
implemented the robust Old JPEG decoder (as included in libtiff since version
Packit 85355f
3.9.0, there was another Old JPEG module in older releases, which was
Packit 85355f
incomplete and unsuitable for many existing images of that format). JBIG
Packit 85355f
module was written by Lee Howard and depends on JBIG library from the Markus
Packit 85355f
Kuhn. Many other people have by now helped with bug fixes and code; a few of
Packit 85355f
the more persistent contributors have been:
