    I really was not going to get into the fool fight, but sometimes I really
    get amazed by what people that don't understand an inch about the topic
    can say.

    In case you missed, the gzip algorithim is also avaliable on zlib, which
    is released under the BSD license.

    Please take your time and do your homework next time.

    member, please disregard my post.
