Free Software for m$

[Derek Neighbors]

It irrated me that I couldnt find a unzip tool that was freesoftware as I 
could swear I found one before.  A little digging produced UnZip (runs on 
about all platforms and has source and is BSD'ish in licensing)

Because they chose to roll their own liscense (grumble, grumble), I can 
not readily say if it is or isnt 'free software', though on the surface it 
appears to be.

Someons should ask license@gnu.org probably if it is a free software 
license or not, if so we should include it.
