Graeme,


The libtiff web site material is implicitly under the same open source license
as the rest of libtiff, and we can't deny anyone the right to display it.

In any event, the libtiff team does not have deep pockets, and isn't keen
on pursuing legal avenues of enforcement (even if we had a legal leg to
stand on).

We just suck it up and move on.

Best regards,
--
