I really don't see another library out there that does it as easily as archive-zip. So, with your consent, I'd like to re-license the code in archive-zip.c and zlib.c as LGPL so that I can create an archive-zip library. The reason for LGPL, of course, is so that it can be linked with non-GPL code. Please offer your consent to re-license your contributions under LGPL by replying to this email. All comments welcome. Thanks, -Brandon ``` ## René Scharfe, 2011-09-23 16:34 Subject: Re: permission to re-license archive-zip.c and zlib.c as LGPL Message-ID: <4E7CB52A.2090600@lsrfire.ath.cx> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4E7CB52A.2090600%40lsrfire.ath.cx In-Reply-To: ``` Am 23.09.2011 05:51, schrieb Brandon Casey: > To those who have contributed to archive-zip.c and zlib.c, > > I'd like to make a library for writing zip files.

Fine with me; BSD or MIT style licenses would be OK as well. Actually I'm a bit surprised that libarchive didn't grow ZIP write support by now. René ```
