Especially the compression code was only coding. The
underlying algorithm (slightly modified) was taken from a 10+
years old usenet article and is the idea of Adisak

If anyone on earth can make money out of it, I don't have a
problem with that. This includes M$ and any other company
with bad reputation. But if there's a bug in my code causing
severe damage, I don't want to get sued for it. That's all.
