schestowitzToday Microsoft extorted another company which sells Linux. Microsoft used software patents. As usual, out of the blue Florian had to jump at my face and ridicule me for it, as though he was celebrating the extortion.Jun 28 01:19

schestowitzI'm always a little afraid that a message to me was not received or that a vital link to the PDF & ODF is not working.

schestowitz> The second point to bear in mind is that the CRC implementation you useJun 28 18:49

schestowitz> you still think this implementation is a good starting point for this task?Jun 28 18:49
schestowitzThanks for those pointers. I will remove the zlib dependency in the next quiet shift and then attempt to recover the missing parts. I just waited for a bit for an ACK before taking code which was potentially dubious. Had Cyrus just taken a licence like the GPL it would probably be easier to find compatibly-licensed code.Jun 28 18:49
