Pdlzip is a permissively licensed implementation of the lzip data
compressor, intended for those who can't distribute (or even use) GPL
licensed Free Software. (The name of pdlzip comes from 'public domain
lzip'). Pdlzip is written in C and is (hope)fully compatible with lzip 1.4
or newer.

Pdlzip is written in C and is (hope)fully compatible with lzip 1.4 or newer.
Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the one
of gzip or bzip2. Lzip uses a simplified form of the 'Lempel-Ziv-Markov
chain-Algorithm' (LZMA) stream format, chosen to maximize safety and
interoperability. Lzip can compress about as fast as gzip (lzip -0) or
compress most files more than bzip2 (lzip -9). Decompression speed is
intermediate between gzip and bzip2. Lzip is better than gzip and bzip2 from
a data recovery perspective. Lzip has been designed, written, and tested
with great care to replace gzip and bzip2 as the standard general-purpose
compressed format for unix-like systems.

taking into account both data integrity and decoder availability:
