I would be totally shocked if there were not some M$-only
wrapper/compression/decoding crap somewhere in the process.

&gt; PKWARE publishes the standard here: <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pkware.com/company/";>http://www.pkware.com/company/</a> 
&gt; standards/
&gt; There is a royalty free license for use of the compression algorithm.
&gt; Licensing information is within the application note for the standard.
&gt; 
&gt; There is a BSD derived licensed version at <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.info-zip.org";>http://www.info-zip.org</a>
&gt; Licensing information is <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/";>http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/</a> 
&gt; license.html
&gt; 
&gt; The format is proprietary but open and has been in use on UNIX  
&gt; systems since before gzip.
&gt; 
&gt; For any format of that nature to work appropriately, its going to be  
&gt; required to be proprietary.
&gt; 
&gt; I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft released a different compression  
&gt; algorithm, however, I would be surprised if they called it &quot;zip&quot;.
