Basically, I have yet to see any indication that there are current, valid patents on jpeg so I don't understand why you think it does not qualify as a "patent-free format".
It seems we're arguing for something we don't know for sure. We all agree png is "patent-free format" but we do not know for sure if there is still *potential* patent issue remaining with jpg. That's what we're trying to avoid. Once again, I'm not lawyer so if you believe jpg is "patent-free format" for sure, please be my guest. :) Regards, -- Thomas Chung http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThomasChung
