As explained at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/163087
there is a copy of JBIG-KIT 1.6 included in the hplip plugins, however the
creator of these plugins, Hewlett Packard, has (back in 2004) bought a
commercial JBIG-KIT license that allows them to use and modify JBIG-KIT in
closed-source projects without the constraints of the GPL. They also assured us
at the time that they have obtained licenses for all known patents that relate
to their use of JBIG. I therefore do not see any copyright or patent license
problem with the use of JBIG-KIT in this Hewlett Packard product.
