> If patented features are available on Trisquel, I need to remove the GUI, because I can't remove libjpeg without removing lots graphical packages. Then remove the GUI. I don't care; it's your life. But if you're going to be this absurdly paranoid, maybe you should just not use a computer

All patents expired? "Although the "baseline" variety of JPEG is believed patent-free, there are many patents associated with some optional features of JPEG, namely arithmetic coding and hierarchical storage. For this reason, these optional features are never used on the Web."

MIDI is a non-patented, non-secret format. It's pretty much just a sequence of notes. QM-coder is related to an obscure format called JBIG, not JPEG. And those patents are all expired. Why are you actively trying to find reasons to excommunicate file formats? You're still reacting to

Formats aren't software, being able to read patented formats does not take away your freedom, although some patented formats have been reverse-engineered so that they could be read with free software. Many patents have expired such as for GIF, and in many places outside the US of A these
