The last JBIG patent expired today. See: http://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2012/04/04/one-line-software-patent/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jbig

This means we jbigkit can be included in openSUSE and JBIG support can be enabled in Splix.

I assume the legal team will still need to take a look at this. There is a jbigkit package in OBS:Graphics. Is it stable enough to be submitted to factory?
