[trial.misc.legal.software] pointer to LZW compression patent discussion

jaw@riacs.edu (James A. Woods) (08/01/90)

see gnu.misc.discuss for my response to the flurry of questions
about the relation of 'compress' to the lempel-ziv-welch
algorithm patent promoted by sperry/unisys.

the title is "Sperry's patent #4,558,302 does *not* affect 'compress'"

ames!jaw
