The file Adler32.cs contains the statement "Licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License, Version 3".
Due to the copyleft effect of AGPL-3.0 this will put ALL code linked dynamically or statically to this file also under AGPL-3.0.
As far as I can see this would affect ALL files of SharpCompress.

AGPL-3.0 is also incompatible to MS-PL and Apache-2.0...

Has all this been considered?
