-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.
