LZMA Utils and XZ Utils were both developed by Lasse Collin in
collaboration with Igor Pavlov. Lasse Collin is the maintainer of both
XZ Utils and LZMA Utils, and he only released that code into the
public domain on April 13, 2009 (i.e., recently). Igor Pavlov's code
in the LZMA SDK was released into the public domain in December, 2008.

See xz-utils/AUTHORS, <http://www.7-zip.org/sdk.html>, and XZ Utils
git commit 02ddf09b ("Put the interesting parts of XZ Utils into the
public domain.", 2009-04-13).

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
