One brief note before we move this discussion and Roy gets really pissed at
me for posting things in the wrong places. I think this is pretty important
for many implementors, and currently the widespread use of GIF for inlined
images has defacto become an important part of HTML.
We are going to be offering a free easy-to-use JPEG libraries for Macintosh
and Windows to ease industry transition from GIF to JPEG. This will be
usable in commercial implementations and the only restriction will be an
"about-box" type credit (and liability wavers, etc). Hopefully these will be
available by sometime next week.
