It's the same licence as libjpeg62:
/usr/share/doc/libjpeg62/copyright:
==============================================================================
In plain English:
1. We don't promise that this software works. (But if you find any bugs,
please let us know!)
2. You can use this software for whatever you want. You don't have to pay us.
3. You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use it in a
program, you must acknowledge somewhere in your documentation that
you've used the IJG code.
==============================================================================
libjpeg62 is packaged and is main (not non-free distribution).
