Hi people,

I have just found out that some JPEG patents has been granted, and the 
licensee is looking some licensing terms INCLUDING browsers...

URL:

http://ir.forgent.com/ireye/ir_site.zhtml?ticker=FORG&script=410&layout=-6&item_id=314044

the relevant part:

"Forgent has the sole and exclusive right to use and license all the claims 
under the '672 patent that implement JPEG in all "fields of use" except in 
the satellite broadcast business. Forgent's "fields of use" for licensing 
opportunities include digital cameras, digital still image devices, personal 
digital assistants (PDA's), cellular telephones that download images, 
browsers, digital camcorders with a still image function, scanners and other 
devices used to compress, store, manipulate, print or transmit digital 
images. "

Thanks,
Hetz
