Replace Jasper by OpenJPEG in jp2-load
@tchaik
Submitted by Martin Blanchard Link to original bug (#764746)
Description
Jasper is the "reference implementation of the codec specified in the JPEG-2000 Part-1 standard" (from https://www.ece.uvic.ca/~frodo/jasper/). Sadly it also has incomplete JPEG-2000 support and is now unmaintained...
OpenJPEG is "an open-source JPEG-2000 codec written in C" (from http://www.openjpeg.org). It has better JPEG-2000 support and has the advantage of still being maintained. Code is placed under BSD license, details here:
https://github.com/uclouvain/openjpeg/blob/master/LICENSE
Proposition is to switch jp2-load implementation from using Jasper to OpenJPEG.
