yeah. not many people know the differences up front, and LGPL basically 
has nearly the same name and is often used in conjunction with GPL, 
meaning the differences are less obvious.


with MIT or BSD, it is generally more readily understood what the 
differences are.

hence, why I have mostly settled on MIT for a lot of my stuff 
(theoretically, nevermind me not yet going through the long and dull 
process of putting MIT headers everywhere).


I guess my posting here has been a bit sparse, mostly because most of my 
compression-related activities have boiled down to:
common file formats;
deflate;
data I can filter somehow and shove through deflate...

mostly all as I go and work on other things.

sadly, all this doesn't really lead to a whole lot anymore relevant to 
the topic of compression.


although, some thoughts/experimentation have involved the possibility of 
"a lossless video-codec vaguely similar to a sort of Motion-PNG with 
motion compensation and deltas".

I had experimented with something like this, and my tests did show it to 
be a bit smaller (~ 25% to 30% the size) of the collection of input PNGs 
(likely subject to vary though).

although, it was still bigger than a plain MJPEG video, or any of the 
conventional lossy codecs tested.

or such...
