A problem I see here is that LZMA is licensed under GPLv2-only, so it'd probably take a rewrite of the decompressor for us to use it, or ask the author to make it "or later". By the looks (no explicit license header in individual files) I doubt it was an explicit decision to exclude GPLv3. I'll try contact him. -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What good is a phone call… if you are unable to speak?
