Note 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
