Re: 1154bis quick analysis1993-03-19 11:24:08Note also that, according to FSF, there are many algorithms for which decompression is unrestricted but the compression algorithm is patented. Thus the fact that a program like pkzip can DECOMPRESS using a particular algorithm doesn't mean that it can COMPRESS with the companion algorithm. We want to be sure to pick an algorithm that is legally unencumbered in BOTH directions. -- NB
