* Relying on the ZS format creates **minimal risk**: The ZS file
format is simple and :ref:`fully documented <format>`; an average
programmer with access to standard libraries could write a working
decompressor in a few hours. The reference implementation is
BSD-licensed, undergoes exhaustive automated testing (>98% coverage)
after every checkin, and just in case there are any ambiguities in
the English spec, we also have a complete :ref:`file format
validator <zs validate>`, so you can confirm that your files match
the spec and be confident that they will be readable by any
compliant implementation.
