: Also, as a point of fact, I thought the unzip we were using was just
: the uncompression part, not the unarchiving part.

Not quite true.  I thought the kernel had gunzip in it, which is
somewhat different than unzip proper...  The two are different enough
in how they compress/uncompress that one might be covered by the
Unisys or other patents, while the one in gunzip definitely doesn't
have that problem (as far as the gnu folks know).
