Re: [Adobe-source-devel] RE: asl-users: Request for Comments: ASL Picture Widget

[Ralph T. <ra...@gm...>]

libjpeg is listed as "freely distributable" on freshmeat (and I did
the research previously and came to the same conclusion). I can
probably easily rustle up an image_factory_t implementation for PNG
files as I already have some imageio code that uses libpng for storing
thumbnail previews.

libjpeg, libpng and libtiff could be included like boost is currently
(in the third_party directory), meaning that ASL users would have to
get the sources themselves if they wanted to use that imageio
extension.
