ZIP is 100% completely wide open. I remember Phil Katz

Phil's pickled and molding in the grave and the world turns. There's old
'pkzip', there's WinZip (commercial software with undocumented but perhaps
rarely used extensions), there's 'infozip' open source'd, there's Zip
extraction in Windows XP... there's plenty of standards to choose from. :-)
