This is a wavelet image codec I have written
which uses the Daubechies 4,4 wavelet:

Cool. What's the license on the source?

The codec uses SPIHT

Other than that, people can do what they want with the source on
personal computer class devices.

I modified a version of my image codec so as
not to use spiht:

In the new algorithm, the value of a branch is
the ceil of the average between the maximum
number of bits needed to code the absolute
value of the pixels at the highest node of the
branch, and the maximum value of the offspring
branches.
