I hereby "take the issue to ros-dev", because I have a different
opinion. ReactOS is filled with patented (to more and lesser extent,
ranging from SEH to scrollbars, I kid you not) features, and I believe
it is hypocritical to simply remove one of them. I don't know the
details on the libjpeg patent, but I do know that linux distributions
use libjpeg as well, and I haven't seen them remove it yet. I officially
request a vote to revert this commit.
Thanks for reading,
mf.
