Everyone:
The last of the Stac data compression patents, granted in 1991,
expires on May 14th of this year. For a long time, all
implementations of PPP for FreeBSD have had stubs for the Stac
compression methods (in particular, MPPC; see, for example,
/sys/netgraph/mppc.c) and there's now absolutely no reason for them
to do so anymore. (Linux, in fact, has jumped the gun and has
compression code available.) Shall we start coding?
