- The compression code as implemented in "lzhuf.c" was taken from a BBS
- program written by Joachim Schurig <jschurig@zedat.fu-berlin.de>. He
- states that the code can be used freely for programs that are covered
- by a "freeware" license. This probably includes both BSD style
- licenses and the GPL.
-
- The code in "loader.asm" is a reimplementation of the uncompressor. It
- has been written from scratch and is hereby placed under the
- conditions of the GNU General Public License (GPL). The algorithm is
- outlined in "algorithm.doc".
-
- Thus, there are no copyright problems with using this code, but there
- still might be difficulties with software patents. These patents are
- not legal in most parts of the world, but if you live in a country
- that honors software patents then you should verify that using these
- algorithms is legally permitted. Unless you are absolutely sure, that
- there are no legal obstacles, you should use the code for educational
- purposes only (this assumes that your educational institution is
- exempted from patent laws). The author cannot be held responsible for
- using the program code in violation of applicable local laws.
-
- If you are aware of patents that might affect the legality of using
- the code in some parts of the world, please let me know.
