Comment on A ridiculous patent for arbitrary compression

Comments

Ridiculous is not the patent, but the patent system that accepted it.

True. It's also a bit frustrating, reading other stuff on gzip (from where I found this), that the author of gzip wasn't able to make it run as fast as possible because of patented algorithms. Sort of disappointing.
