I assume there's no legal trouble, as other jpeg > code comes also from JPEG library examples. The examples are just that: examples. They are supposed to illustrate the most basic/natural use of the library and so don't contain copyrightable material unless somebody defined the interface very badly. You can claim copyright only on passages of sufficient creative value, and examples often are explicitly exempt (don't know whether this is the case here). So you can't judge the viability of taking core code (it sounds to me like that is what you did) by the viability of following example code. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
