Original license of SIMD code is http://cetus.sakura.ne.jp/softlab/jpeg-x86simd/jpegsimd.html#conditions

In Japanese, "この SIMD 拡張版 IJG JPEG software の使用条件については、オリジナル版の IJG JPEG software の使用条件が適用されます。"

In English by Google Translate, "This SIMD extension for IJG JPEG software terms of use, the original version of the IJG JPEG software is subject to terms of use."

So, original author who is MIYASAKA-san says that this code is same license as libjpeg. I believe that license is no problem if we port MIYASAKA-san's code to our tree, not using libjpeg-turbo.

Gerv, how about?
