    Write a program, using only GNU/Linux languages/tools,
    to output the histogram data of an RGB (color) image file.

    Time's up. Fucking deadbeat losers.

    What follows is a masterpiece of C code that fulfills all the
    requirements. The code is supremely efficient. Aside from parallelism
    it cannot get any better.

    So, now the real chalenge starts: Who will be the first one to find the
    Internet website your code comes from?

    He wrote a wrapper around a GPL library.

    Same thing he accuses programs like vlc of doing.

    I don't think he gets it.


    Using the Imagemagick c lib would probably be easier and give more
    filetype support.. then again, when I used it for a project, I wanted to
    tear my hair out over some of the workings so yea :P

    I don't believe that. He found the code of the wrapper on some website.
    You have to find that website to win the challenge.
