Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Legal Issues
Q: Is the JasPer software open source?
A: Yes, the JasPer software is available under an open source license. (The license is based on the MIT license.)
Q: Can I use JasPer in commercial products?
A: Yes, you may use the software for commercial purposes as long as you do not violate the terms of the license.
Q: Does Michael Adams ever reply to JasPer-related email?
A: Yes, he does, but it usually takes quite a while. Please understand that Michael receives a considerable volume of email
regarding JasPer. You are unlikely to get a response for a while. This said, however, there is one sure way not to get a response:
by asking a question that is answered in the JasPer Software Reference Manual or in this web page. This documentation was
created for a reason, namely so that people would read it (and avoid asking the same questions over and over).
Q: Does the JPEG-2000 encoder in JasPer support ROI?
A: No, it does not. Only the decoder supports ROI.
Q: Why does the JasPer JPEG-2000 codec behave differently from the way described in the JPEG-2000 Part-1 FDIS (or FCD)?
A: The FDIS and FCD are obsolete and out of date. If you want a precise specification of the JPEG-2000 Part-1 standard, then
order a copy of the final standard from the ISO.
Q: How can I obtain a copy of the JPEG-2000 test images?
A: At present, not all of these images can be distributed to the general public, due to their uncertain copyright status.
Fortunately, a few of these images can be distributed at this time, and are available from the download section of this
document.
Q: How can I obtain a copy of the JPEG-2000 Part-1 standard?
A: You will have to buy a copy from the ISO. The JPEG-2000 Part-1 standard is known as ISO/IEC 15444-1.
