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.
