+The file compress.c contains (slightly modified) source code that
+originally came from gzip-1.2.4, copyright (C) 1992-1993 by Jean-loup
+Gailly. This gzip code is distributed under the GNU General Public
+Licence and thus requires that any software that uses the CFITSIO
+library (which in turn uses the gzip code) must conform to the
+provisions in the GNU General Public License. A copy of the GNU
+licence is included at the beginning of compress.c file.
+
+An alternate version of the compress.c file (called compress_alternate.c)
+is provided for users who want to use the CFITSIO library but are
+unwilling or unable to publicly release their software under the terms
+of the GNU General Public License. This alternate version contains
+non-functional stubs for the file compression and uncompression
+routines used by CFITSIO. Replace the file 'compress.c' with
+'compress_alternate.c' before compiling the CFITSIO library. This will
+produce a version of CFITSIO which does not support reading or writing
+compressed FITS files but is otherwise identical to the standard
+version.
