   Yeah, I'll stay with bzip2. Unlike bzip3, both bzip2 and pbzip2 are under zlib loicence derivatives while bzip3 is LGPLv3

     @takao A test on a single tar archive of a specific kind isn't really enough to come to a proper conclusion about a compression tool.
     
     bzip3 is LGPLv3-or-later, which automatically makes it superior to software under pushover licenses, shame it isn't AGPLv3-or-later (but thankfully is can be upgraded to GPLv3-or-later).
