I am in the middle of developing an Astrophotrophy utility app that I very much doubt will be used by anyone but me, but you never know. I added a archive option for data folders that can be several gigs in size and I found that 7z will save up to 40 percent on space which is huge. I read the requirements for using 7zip in a personal application and am trying to comply with them. I have added the following comment to the c# class I created that calls the 7z.exe.
//
// ArchiveFolders class is used to compress data folders into a 7 zip file. The application 7zip must be installed
// on the computer for this process to work. 7 zip will compress a folder up to 40 percent which when dealing with
// Astro Images folders that can be several gig of size, is a huge savings in space.
//
// 7-Zip is licensed under the GNU LGPL license and(3) you must give a link to www.7-zip.org
//
Not even close to creating documentation at the moment, but I will address the use of 7-zip when I do.
Is there anything else I should do for notifying the team?

I also added a link to 7-zip on the panel of the windows form that uses the utility. Is anything else required?
