It's free already. It is called zlib and it is also embedded in many
other applications like CVS just to name one. I don't know a resource
page off the top of my head but it's not hard to find.
Hey, a great script idea that I've been wanting to do for some time is
write the code to parse in and write out standard gzip headers so then
REBOL could read and write standard gzip'd files. I think you'd also
have to write the particular checksum code that's in gzip but for a
decompression first pass you could skip the checksum check.
Next step after that: TAR
