No. This package *is* free: it only allows one to build a compress
binary package, which then will be distributable under Unisys conditions.
BTW, I read in this list that the Unisys patent does not apply outside of
the USA. Is this true? In this case, maybe someone in Europe can make a
binary compress package available?
