The libtiff software was written by Sam Leffler while working for
Packit Service 2594b8
Silicon Graphics.

The LZW algorithm is derived from the compress program (the proper attribution
Packit Service 2594b8
is included in the source code).  The Group 3 fax stuff originated as code
Packit Service 2594b8
from Jef Poskanzer, but has since been rewritten several times.  The latest
Packit Service 2594b8
version uses an algorithm from Frank Cringle -- consult
Packit Service 2594b8
<TT>libtiff/mkg3states.c</TT> and <TT>libtiff/tif_fax3.h</TT> for further
Packit Service 2594b8
information. The JPEG support was written by Tom Lane and is dependent on the
Packit Service 2594b8
excellent work of Tom Lane and the Independent JPEG Group (IJG) who distribute
Packit Service 2594b8
their work under friendly licensing similar to this software. Joris Van Damme
Packit Service 2594b8
implemented the robust Old JPEG decoder (as included in libtiff since version
Packit Service 2594b8
3.9.0, there was another Old JPEG module in older releases, which was
Packit Service 2594b8
incomplete and unsuitable for many existing images of that format). JBIG
Packit Service 2594b8
module was written by Lee Howard and depends on JBIG library from the Markus
Packit Service 2594b8
Kuhn. Many other people have by now helped with bug fixes and code; a few of
Packit Service 2594b8
the more persistent contributors have been:
