Perhaps a more pertinent question: Is it any better than LZJB or LZO?

  It's got a better license than LZJB (and maybe LZO depending on your views).

    And LZO.

    Doesn't Google use GPL2 all over the place?
    • wmf 16y ago
      Just to use one example, I would assume that the crawler/indexer/ranker "secret sauce" in the appliance can't link against any GPL libraries.

        If you don't distribute your GPL-tainted code, I don't believe you need to do anything to comply with the GPL. This is why the Affero GPL exists.

          The keyword in the parent comment was "appliance" :)

            Doh! Missed that. Yep.

  The LZO codebase is one of the worse spaghetti code messes I've seen in my life.
