Hi Mark and
Gilles,
Thanks for your work on
zlib!
I found a useful contribution in contrib/minizip distributed with
zlib. However, there's a strange thing:
And later somewhere in the
code:
if (unz_copyright[0] != '
')
return
NULL;
Aggrhh! Gilles desperately wants to see his name in the
executable :-)
I know that things in contrib are out of the scope of the zlib
library, and actually I find minizip very
useful. However, this thing drives me mad. Do you want me to send a
patch to remove these copyright checks?
Gilles, are you still working on minizip? If so, how about a
collaboration to improve it?
Thanks, and respect to
you!

Indeed this is a Giles
question.
As for a patch, one of the advantages of a source distribution is that
you can modify it yourself.
