-This is a working codec for FXT1 and DXTn texture compression.
-It has a balanced speed/quality ratio, and is very tweakable.
-
-Both FXT1 and DXTn use vector quantization for lossy encoding.
-The decoder is rather trivial, at the expense of the encoder
-complexity. This means that applications heavily relying on
-texture compression should provide precompressed textures, for
-several obvious reasons:
-1) the encoding phase can be done "off-line" with hi-quality
-   encoders
-2) if the graphic driver does not support precompressed textures,
-   it's still cheap to decode "on-line" application-side
-3) the distributed package gets smaller
-
-The FXT1 and DXTn codecs were written using documentation freely
-available on the world-wide-web, including, but not limited to:
-3DFX_texture_compression_FXT1 and EXT_texture_compression_s3tc
-from http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/
-I just translated the human readable spec into ANSI C. There are
-NO binaries available, as I am NOT using this code! Therefore,
-THE RESPONSIBILITY OF USING THE CODE IS ENTIRELY WITH YOU!
-
-The implementation per-se is made available under GPL, which
-does not necessarily apply to the abstract content (texture
-compression algorithms):
-FXT1 is subject to "3DFX FXT1 Source Code General Public License"
-
-DXTn is basically the S3TC texture compression, a license to the
-     "S3TC Intellectual Property" may be required prior to any use.
-
-     There is significant IP associated with the S3TC format.
-     Existing users probably have executed licenses directly
-     with S3 or its successors (Sonic Blue, S3 Graphics).
-
-     The current ownership of the S3TC IP is unknown to me. It is
-     known that when S3 exited the graphics hardware business, part of
-     their operations were sold to ATI and part were spun off to a joint
-     Taiwanese venture with Via Technologies, called S3 Graphics.

-I, DANIEL BORCA, AM NOT AWARE OF ANY LEGAL ISSUE CAUSED BY RELEASING
-THIS CODE. Prior to commencement of legal action, the Plaintiff should
-make an informal demand to Cease and Desist. In deference to the
-regulations of the Federal Communications Commission, which requires
-notice prior to filing an action, and in the spirit of cooperation,
-all complaints, issues and concerns should first be directed to me
-in an effort to resolve them amicably and promptly. FCC s2250.
