Totally agree. The issue is definitely *NOT* the responsibility of libtiff. Just trying to document the issue for folks who may have hit it. The most recent file in https://sourceforge.net/projects/freeimage/files/ is 2018 and the project doesn't look to be active (e.g. it has a cvs repo that is now read only on sourceforge and I didn't see an official spot on github)
