Wow, I can't believe they shipped the product knowing this could happen and thought that putting 2 warnings in the software guidebook (who reads that?) would suffice. Maybe they only added that in to avoid getting sued.

Also, reading the timeline was great.

> March 2015 The German Federal Office for Safety in Information Technology bans JBIG2 from being used for archival purposes.

Wonder if any other governments took notice as well.

I hope they didn't ban lossless JBIG2.

Wouldn't be an unreasonable thing to do to prevent accidental use of lossy JBIG2. There are better lossless compression formats anyway.
