And little else.  I think the reason I'm up there is just that there are
a ton of open-source programs that have incorporated libjpeg.  AFAICT
the survey just counted copyright notices appearing in open-source
distributions; so if your code appears in N programs you get N times as
much credit as you should.  I certainly don't have more lines of open
source circulating than MIT does...

No you didn't... this survey is too bogus to deserve quoting.  (If
they're going to treat groups like FSF and the entire UC system as a
single author, and *draw conclusions that are stated as though they
believed FSF and UC are single authors*, what use is it?  They have
a lot of work to do.)
