Guix, I've had a package for the ‘zstd’ compressor lying about for quite some time — since before its weird appropriation by Facebook Inc. as a PR tool. Apart from that, it's nice. It's fast. Why not upstream it.
While updating and cleaning it up for submission, I noticed a ‘PATENTS’ file[0] that sounds vaguely threatening, or at least tries to do. IANAL enough to tell. Any opinions on its meaningfulness? Does it affect the (BSD-3) licence at all? Does zstd still belong in Guix? There's some discussion at [1] (GitHub link) for those interested. Kind regards, T G-R [0]: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/facebook/zstd/dev/PATENTS [1]: https://github.com/facebook/zstd/issues/335
