(long-description
"gzip (GNU zip) is a popular data compression program written by Jean-loup
Gailly for the GNU project. Mark Adler wrote the decompression part.
We developed this program as a replacement for compress because of the Unisys
and IBM patents covering the LZW algorithm used by compress. These patents
made it impossible for us to use compress, and we needed a replacement. The
superior compression ratio of gzip is just a bonus.")
