25The libtiff software was written by Sam Leffler while working for
26Silicon Graphics.<p>

28The LZW algorithm is derived from the compress program (the proper
29attribution is included in the source code). The Group 3 fax stuff
30originated as code from Jef Poskanzer, but has since been rewritten
31several times. The latest version uses an algorithm from Frank
32Cringle -- consult <TT>libtiff/mkg3states.c</TT> and
33<TT>libtiff/tif_fax3.h</TT> for further information.
34The JPEG support was written by Tom Lane and is dependent on the
35excellent work of Tom Lane and the Independent JPEG Group (IJG)
36who distribute their work under friendly licensing similar to this
37software.
38Many other people have by now helped with bug fixes and code; a
39few of the more persistent contributors have been:
