Re: Any Interest in a port of ZLib to C++?

I am not a lawyer either, but I believe that this would not clash with 
the BSL. If the Zlib license *required* that you put an acknowledgement 
in the documentation etc, that would clash. But the way it is worded, I 
think it's compatible.

To answer the original question, I think this is a nice idea and I would 
probably use it.

Kind regards,

Philip Bennefall
