== qouth lzma.txt ==
SPECIAL EXCEPTION #3: Igor Pavlov, as the author of this code,
expressly permits
 
 you to use code of the following files: 
 BranchTypes.h, LzmaTypes.h, LzmaTest.c, LzmaStateTest.c,
 LzmaAlone.cpp, 
 LzmaAlone.cs, LzmaAlone.java
 as public domain code. 
====================

Without a more careful look, it sounds like enough to integrate
lzma in libarchive.
