According to
http://libjpeg-turbo.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/libjpeg-turbo/trunk/README-turbo.txt

"Some of the optimizations to the Huffman encoder/decoder were borrowed from
VirtualGL, and thus the libjpeg-turbo distribution, as a whole, falls under the
wxWindows Library Licence, Version 3.1. A copy of this license can be found in
this directory under LICENSE.txt. The wxWindows Library License is based on
the LGPL but includes provisions which allow the Library to be statically
linked into proprietary libraries and applications without requiring the
resulting binaries to be distributed under the terms of the LGPL.

The rest of the source code, apart from these modifications, falls under a less
restrictive, BSD-style license (see README.)"

So it seems that wxWindows license is a more liberal version of LGPL and the rest is BSD (I was mistaken in the initial posting)
