+Some of the optimizations to the Huffman encoder (jchuff.c) and decoder
+(jdhuff.c) were borrowed from VirtualGL, and thus any distribution of
+libjpeg-turbo which includes those optimizations must, as a whole, be subject
+to the terms of the wxWindows Library Licence, Version 3.1. A copy of this

+The rest of the source code, apart from the Huffman codec optimizations, falls
+under a less restrictive, BSD-style license (see README.) You can choose to
+distribute libjpeg-turbo, as a whole, under this BSD-style license by simply
+replacing the optimized jchuff.c and jdhuff.c with their unoptimized
+counterparts from the libjpeg v6b source.
