+    Sorry, there is no contact for MSSG: The authors of the MSSG
+    software have disapeared and left no forwarding address.
+    
+    The MSSG software is not maintained and provided "as-is".
+    
+    No support of any sort is available. The MSSG software is known to
+    contain a number of bugs and mistakes. You must find and fix the bugs
+    yourself.
+    
+    All the information we have is available is on this page.
+    
+    The MSSG source code is a reference for a long-frozen standard
+    document. Please post serious questions on the comp.compression
+    newsgroup.

+http://www.mpeg.org/MPEG/mpeg-pointers-and-resources/ implies that MSSG
+software is considered "public-domain" nowadays.
