I don't remember that anyone was actually sued for using the LZW
compression algorithm (certainly not a company rather close to
Debian).  Maybe the case was so clear that every paid royalties.  In
this case, it could be a good sign that this is taken to the courts.

But I'm not sure.  Removing JPEG support would at least help to get
the software patent message across.
