Hi Johannes.
I have now assigned the task #100 (JBIG2 encoder filter implementation)
to me. The description recommends using the jbig2enc library
(http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphics/jbig2enc-12473.shtml).
Thanks for getting this task :)
After having a look at this library I have some questions:
1) This library is licensed under the Apache license. I am not familiar
that much with licensing issues, so I do not know if that's ok?
The Apache license is compatible with GPLv3+, and thus we can link
with code licensed under it.
2) jbig2enc is a C++ library, so what way do you recommend to go
here? I think the way in which it is currently provided (a static
library of C++ objects) is definitely not the right one for our
purposes. Would it be ok to use it as a shared library with a C
interface?
A shared library would be quite convenient. Is the library providing
a proper C interface that we can use?
