2. Copyright and utility of images in documentation ([email protected])
These images were part of the ORIGINAL LibTiff distribution test image
set and were distributed by Sam Loeffler. They can be used to test
various capabilities of the library and the utilities. I don't know if
anyone can be said to own them other than Sam.

Hi folks,
$ ls -1 doc/images
back.gif
bali.jpg
cat.gif
cover.jpg
cramps.gif
dave.gif

jello.jpg

note.gif
oxford.gif

Anyone know what the origin and purpose of these images is (or was)? They
can be put into these categories:
photos of individuals (bali, dave, jim) - anyone know who these people are
and what the connection to libtiff is?
photos of animals (cat, smalliz) - anyone know the significance of these?
photos of objects (strike) - anyone know the significance of this?
computer-generated graphics (cover, jello, quad, ring) - various geometric
shapes, relevance unclear
computer screenshots (oxford) - looks like a shell prompt and system load
graph, relevance unclear
scanned linart (cramps) - anyone know the significance and history of this?
documentation icons (back, info, note, warning) - obsoleted by Sphinx
equivalents
With the conversion to Sphinx, I've copied over the use of all the images on
the same documentation pages with the exception of the documentation icons.
However, they don't appear to have any particularly obvious connection to
the pages they are associated with or any obvious connection to the TIFF
file format or library. If the origin and copyrights are unclear, and they
don't add any particular value to the documentation, would anyone object to
removing them all?
As a recent effort to read YCbCr JPEG encoded TIFFs shows, it would be
good to keep them as test cases.
