It would be fine if we were just linking against lzma. In this case,
software using GPLv3 would have at least the same rights as proprietary
software that is allowed to do that.
But we are going to incorporate the decompression function into the
bootloader, and that may not be allowed by LGPL. I don't think it would
be allowed for proprietary software. It would be a derived work
regardless of the library exceptions.
