When was the last time you checked? Do it here: http://djvu.sourceforge.net/
Is actually anybody using this?If I can get confirmation that it is truly free,
Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/djvu/ and follow the link behind License: GNU General Public License (GPL) and see if this convinces you.... ;-)
I will start usin it. It is, in fact, incredibly good! The way it works is clever, it splits things into "layers" that are more compressible when seperated from other layers. This means it works brilliantly on things like text and line drawings, but it still works pretty well on photos. A page which contains both really shines.
