Hi there. Thanks for posting this compression source code.

Unfortunately, without a free & open source license, it has a legal status of "all rights reserved" by the author(s) and is unusable by the general public.

Will you consider releasing this code as open source? https://choosealicense.com/ is a good guide at choosing the correct license for your desired outcome. And for more information about what happens if the code remains published without a license, please see: https://choosealicense.com/no-permission/

Thanks for your consideration!

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your note. This was an oversight. You’ll find the license is properly in place now.

Best,
