Likely it is just not clear what the license on it is. so, if you know it, please let us know it. seemant@gentoo.org 2002-09-03 05:55:57 0000 Adam? r.a.mercer@blueyonder.co.uk 2002-09-06 10:37:42 0000 I've done a search and all I can find is the following, from aminet Short: Unlzx - decompresses LZX archives on multiple platforms Author: emeusel@cs.uni-magdeburg.de (Erik Meusel) (v1.1, 03.04.01) Uploader: emeusel@cs.uni-magdeburg.de (Erik Meusel) Version: 1.1 Type: misc/unix Requires: ANSI C-Compiler Replaces: misc/unix/unlzx.c.Z and a website, which appears to be the website for version 1.0 http://www.polycode.dk/mainpages/products/products.html#unlzx there was some info regarding the PPC compliled version and it mentioned that the license was freeware so i would hazard a guess that is freeware? seemant@gentoo.org 2002-09-07 08:30:41 0000 thanks adam
