+JBIG is a highly effective lossless compression algorithm for 
+high-resolution bi-level images (one bit per pixel), which is 
+particularly suitable for scanned documents or fax pages.
+
+JBIG-KIT provides a portable library of compression and decompression
+functions with a documented interface that you can include very easily
+into your image or document processing software. In addition, JBIG-KIT
+provides ready-to-use compression and decompression programs with a 
+simple command line interface
+
+IMPORTANT NOTICE
+
+It seems that some of the JBIG algorithms implemented in JBIG-KIT were
+or may be still covered by patents. JBIG-KIT comes without any patent
+license as its author is not sure which patents affect which use of 
+JBIG in which country. With this being said, you should compile and 
+use JBIG-KIT on your own.
