On a related note the JDL/JRL license makes the use of JAI and ImageIO a
trouble. I have had to make a request to treat both of these in the same
manner as the JRE (a prerequisite exemption ).
It is also really hard to download and install[2].

*imageio-core BSD fork[]1*
In researching this I have found an imageio-core fork under a BSD license:
- it has already gone through the eclipse review process
- on the technical side this was achieved by taking version 1.1 and
dropping jai-core javax.media.jai dependencies and C libJIIO implementation

I wonder if this would work long term for imageio-ext formats?

Research:
- http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-imaging/ <-- pure java, easy to
use, slow?
- http://code.google.com/p/javacv/ <- java wrappers and the usual C++ libs
so fast but very hard to deploy, GPL so I am not interested

I have not seen anything close to JAI in functionality.
