Thanks for the links!  Zlib is a fine license.  LGPL may be OK in some
cases when there are no other alternatives.  I have nothing against
the LGPL, it just has a lot of gotchas and compatability issues which
must be reviewed and considered before such code is used.  For
example, you have to comple the LGPL code as a shared library rather
than linking it staticly in some cases.
