incompatible MS-PL and GPL licenses #257

Closed shaun0x00 closed 8 years ago

ionic zip => MS-PL sharpcompress => MS-PL

BTW, I'm not sure why zk need 2 zip libraries... but thats beyond the point. Licenses are incompatible.

Note to whoever wishes to change it, one of the libs has bug and the other did not support archiv browsing

Replace libs with http://icsharpcode.github.io/SharpZipLib/

Ionic Zip (DotNetZip) replaced with .NET's own API (System.IO.Compression).

Sharpcompress on GitHub has MIT License (see readme.md, license.txt). Not sure why it's listed as MS-PL on CodePlex, but I figure we can use it safely regardless.

So we just need to make ZKL include the MIT (and GPL) license texts and then we can close this issue.

...and it does that now (#788), so closing issue. Thanks for reporting~
