gzip: A popular data compression program
gzip: Developed by the GNU project as a replacement for compress because of the
gzip: Unisys and IBM patents covering the LZW algorithm used by compress. These
gzip: patents made it impossible for GNU to use compress, and they needed a
gzip: replacement. The superior compression ratio of gzip is just a bonus.
