Is there a GPL or otherwise free zipping/unzipping program?

$29 per station for winzip is too much, and for basic zipping/unzipping I don't want to pay for all the machines. .

if it is for win2k i have a zip file driver that makes the zip files act as folders. Also has an unzip wizard. I basically handle zip files in the same manor as winme an xp do.

Great sugestions, I'll check out the LGPL version first. I am huge open sopurce advocates for utilitarian type apps.

The freeware zip utility I have installed at work is ZipCentral 4.01
 
The homepage seems to be down at the moment but do a search on google for the above and you will find lots of places for download.
