unzip-5.50-4.2mdk.i586.rpm

This version of unzip is a stripped-down version which doesn't include
the "unreduce" and "unshrink" algorithms. The first one is subject to
a restrictive copyright by Samuel H. Smith which forbids its use in
commercial products; and Unisys claimed a patent ("Welsh patent") on the 
second one (while their licensing would seem to mean that an
extractor-only program would not be covered).

Since the rest of the code is copyrighted by Info-Zip under a BSD-like
license, this Mandrake package is covered by this license.

Please note that currently, default compilation of the Info-Zip
distribution also excludes the unreduce and unshrink code.

Please contact MandrakeSoft at <bugs@linux-mandrake.com> if you have
any problems regarding this issue.
