But surely JPEG is patent free by now (having been invented in the very early 90s)? To be honest I'm confused about what FSF's argument is here, as JPEG seems just fine to me.
- csdreamer7 4y agoYes, the original JPEG is patent free now. The point of my comparison was between the times that both of them were seeking adoption.
- Beldin 4y agoI don't know what the FSF's argument is. I personally don't feel very strongly yet about this, but I am not comfortable with the "JPEG is sufficient" line of reasoning. I don't know what the world could look like if a much-improved image format was common, but I don't think I'll see that future as long as the browser with 90% market share doesn't support that new format.
