the above link is the license URL... the stuff about patents is off putting to

Apologies for chopping the bulk of that message, but it's coming over
unformatted.
no problem... i do take steps to reformat some quotes some times...
The patents issue relating to zlib etc. is way out of date, see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZW#Patents for a summary.
it isn't those patent issues... there's something else that the license link
page talks about...
Go on...
crypto patents or something, i guess... it says that if there are any patents in
the software that the code cannot be used... click the link and read it and
you'll see it, too...
The Unisys and BT patents are the ones that have given most people problems,
which is why I cited that page.
yeah... AFAIK, zip or zlib stuff isn't used in this... or is it?
