I have written code to compress and decompress image files using a proprietary SDK for transmission from an aircraft via satellite. Unfortunately a license must be purchased for decompression as well as compression. Until now my applications have been mostly used in-house so I can keep track of the licenses and distribution. Now I need to provide the applications for outsiders and I can neither control distribution nor want to pay for the licenses.

Does anyone know of free de-compression programs, SDKs, or libraries? I program in C++ for Windows NT, 2000, XP.

My image files are raw data, monochrome, with 16bit unsigned pixels and the compression that is used is lossless or very mildly lossy.

It's just a thought, but the de facto standard for JPEG2000 is Kakadu because Dr. Taubman pretty much wrote the JPEG2000 standard. Although it costs some money, it is the best library that I know of.
