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 attribution
29is included in the source code). The Group 3 fax stuff originated as code
30from Jef Poskanzer, but has since been rewritten several times. The latest
31version uses an algorithm from Frank Cringle -- consult
32<TT>libtiff/mkg3states.c</TT> and <TT>libtiff/tif_fax3.h</TT> for further
33information. The JPEG support was written by Tom Lane and is dependent on the
34excellent work of Tom Lane and the Independent JPEG Group (IJG) who distribute
35their work under friendly licensing similar to this software. Joris Van Damme
36implemented the robust Old JPEG decoder (as included in libtiff since version
373.9.0, there was another Old JPEG module in older releases, which was
38incomplete and unsuitable for many existing images of that format). JBIG
39module was written by Lee Howard and depends on JBIG library from the Markus
40Kuhn. Many other people have by now helped with bug fixes and code; a few of
41the more persistent contributors have been:
