30 ''gzip (GNU zip) is a popular data compression program written by
31 Jean-loup Gailly for the GNU project. Mark Adler wrote the
32 decompression part.
33
34 We developed this program as a replacement for compress because of
35 the Unisys and IBM patents covering the LZW algorithm used by
36 compress. These patents made it impossible for us to use compress,
37 and we needed a replacement. The superior compression ratio of gzip
38 is just a bonus.
