Hi,
I noticed that on the Lzlib webpage the license section says:
"As a special exception, you may use this free software library without
restriction."
but in the source code it says:
"As a special exception, you may use this file as part of a free
software library without restriction."
The license in the source code seems to imply that only free software
may link to Lzlib ("as part of a free software library"), whereas the
webpage implies that proprietary software may link to Lzlib. I assume
you meant the latter and that "a free software library" refers to Lzlib,
but I wasn't quite sure.
Thanks.
