Hi,

I noticed that on the Lzlib webpage the license section says:

"As a special exception, you may use this free software library without restriction."

but in the source code it says:

"As a special exception, you may use this file as part of a free software library without restriction."

The license in the source code seems to imply that only free software may link to Lzlib ("as part of a free software library"), whereas the webpage implies that proprietary software may link to Lzlib. I assume you meant the latter and that "a free software library" refers to Lzlib, but I wasn't quite sure.

Thanks.
