About ncompress

From Debian's package description

This package provides the original compress and uncompress programs that used to be the de facto UNIX standard for compressing and uncompressing files. These programs implement a fast, simple Lempel-Ziv (LZW) file compression algorithm.
For Debian, the standard uncompress program is installed as uncompress.real, to avoid conflicting with other packages.
This package also contains a copyright notice and a brief discussion of the LZW patent history (written by one of the original authors) in the file /usr/share/doc/ncompress/README.Debian.

From Debian's description of the ncompress package, under that package's license.
