But wouldn't it not matter what the author's copyright is? I thought
that, if it used Unisys's algorithm for compression, it was not
something we wanted to be caught "selling" by putting it in the normal
tree?

Well, I'm not sure anybody but the people who build the graphics libs
and the FSSTND really need to make the decision -- personally, I
prefer having it all in /usr/include and /usr/lib, since those are
standard locations and you aren't going to see a library or include
file name conflict.
